NoteThe source confirms three of four key fields: person (Jim Balsillie), organization (Centre for International Governance Innovation/CIGI), and role (founder and chair). The bio explicitly states he is the 'founder' of CIGI and 'currently chairs the boards of...CIGI', confirming both founder and chair roles. However, the source does not provide the specific start date of 2001. The absence of a date in the source makes the startDate field unverifiable rather than confirmed, resulting in a 'partial' verdict overall.
