28. Motion 2011-J "Open Meeting Forum"

[Bob Gillanders]

Does this in any way form a constitutional ammendment? After all, we are discussing replacing the Governor's letters with a "closed" discussion board record.

A good question but I believe the answer is no. Technically the quarterly governors meetings are not replacing the governors letters, not yet anyways. Since the governors letters have been made public on the website, and the rules concerning quarterly meetings are outside of constitutional handbook sections, I don't see sufficient cause to require a vote to "open the meeting" to the public to meet a constitutional threshold.

Thanks Aris and Paul. I share your concerns.
I predict the Yes side will prevail.
Then at some date in the future,
some of them will regret it.
