Certain USAGM staff members who may be called on to brief or support the Board also may attend. The USAGM General Counsel and Board Secretary has certified that, in his opinion, exemptions set forth in the Government in the Sunshine Act, in particular 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2), (6), and (9)(B), permit closure of this meeting. The entirety of the Board’s membership approved the closing of this meeting. The purpose for closing the meeting is so that the IBAB may decide on hiring certain entity heads. The closed meeting also will focus on discussing the development of internal rules and practices to govern Board processes and functions. This includes developing processes or rules relating to IBAB, USAGM, and the USAGM entities. Publicizing these deliberations would frustrate the implementation of the very items they will be proposing. [This related to (2), (6) and (9).] In the event that the time, date, or location of this meeting changes, IBAB will post an announcement of the change, along with the new time, date, and/or place of the meeting on its website at https://www.ibab.gov. Although a separate federal entity, USAGM prepared this notice and will continue to support the Board in accordance with 22 U.S.C. 6205(g).
