New Business (a) Appoint Genetics Advisory Committee 4:35 p.m. ADJOURN OPEN SESSION Newkirk Newkirk: Our first order of business is to approve the Orders of the Day. I have one thing to add under New Business, and that is the appointment of a Genetics Advisory Committee. Pam DelaBar, I think you have something you wanted added to the agenda. DelaBar: Yes, I would just like to move the Handbook to Executive Session. After I put everything in I noticed it was proprietary information previously and probably should be discussed under Executive Session. Then, after we get done discussing what’s in there, it can be brought out if the board feels it should be so noted as being unclassified, let me put it that way. I have one other. Do you want to vote on these separately? The other one is to discuss all levels of judges and licensing when we are discussing the licensing. That tomorrow is already under Executive Session. Newkirk: OK. DelaBar: So, basically, I guess it’s just the one. Newkirk: Alright. I think that is covered in the closed session stuff. Let me check real quick here. Since it’s proprietary information, I’m assuming that it’s OK to move that closed session. Is there anybody that objects to moving that
