Background

The Steering Committee P&Ps, 2. Meeting and Conference Call Procedures, B. Executive Session Policy currently reads:

  The GPUS Steering Committee will go into Executive Session only under very specific circumstances. Executive Session is appropriate only for personnel matters, sensitive legal and financial matters in which the Party itself is involved in actual or likely legal proceedings, and when dealing with the proprietary information of vendors and contractors. No other circumstances are appropriate for Executive Session.

  Since there are times when the Steering Committee needs to have sensitive conversations concerning potential electoral candidates or elected officials, this situation is being added to appropriate circumstances for Executive Session.

Proposal

The Steering Committee P&Ps, 2. Meeting and Conference Call Procedures, B. Executive Session Policy will be amended to read:

  The GPUS Steering Committee will go into Executive Session only under very specific circumstances. Executive Session is appropriate only for personnel matters, sensitive legal and financial matters in which the Party itself is involved in actual or likely legal proceedings, sensitive conversations concerning potential electoral candidates or elected officials, and when dealing with the proprietary information of vendors and contractors. No other circumstances are appropriate for Executive Session.
