ISS is a business entity and as such we will happily sell shares to those that attack us. For relavence, we have many investors in the outposts that are unable to dock due to being hostile to us.
To also aleviate fears, politcal standings do not effect share payouts. Even if you're -10, you'll still get your share of the dividends.

Your salary commitment works out to approximately 250 million isk per month at a 10% return. Divided eight (or more? fewer?) ways, this is not exactly a princely sum. What's in it for you?
To add my own answer to this, I joined the management team because I wanted something more out of eve then just flying missions and blowing up NPCs/PCs. Helping in the running of an alliance like ISS is something I enjoy doing. Everyone has things that make them sit down to play eve and for me, this is one of those things. I suspect it's the same for pretty much all the management team.

You can make more than 31m/hr. mining in 0.0 with half-decent skills. Considering that that's your base pay, that means either:
a) you don't expect to spend more than one hour per month doing work for the IPO, or
b) you don't mind getting paid peanuts for your time
While b) is perfectly valid and is often seen at work in soup kitchens and other charities, it is hardly a formula for employee loyalty and honesty in the face of a system that enforces no legal code should you decide to take the money and run.

Actually, I get a fair bit more then 31m for my time spent mining :)
Anyway, as I tried to explain before, I enjoy doing this kinda thing - hence invested my time in the ISS to help it prosper. If that's not enough for you, look at it this way. The better the ISS does, the better placed my corp is. The better placed my corp is, the better placed I am. The time I spend working in ISS management benifits myself in more ways then financial reward. Part of it is the satisfaction from the job itself and the rest is the position it places me in to be able to enjoy playing eve out in 0.0 space.

Just to remind people of what has been said repeatedly elsewhere - none of the isk invested in the latest IPO is affected by any of the recent developments. The "ISS" assets under attack are the various outpost constructed with isks from previous IPOs. If you actually read the prospectus for the new IPO you'll see that we're not using it to fund the old outposts, we've just been using the old outposts are market seeding grounds, markets we can use to increase our revenue for the new IPO. Even if we do lose those stations, the stock will still be on the market there. Nothing changes and the IPO will continue.
