January PNB Meeting Location: Information brought forward by the chair was that proper notification had not been given to the GM’s of KPFK and WPFW regarding the wish of the board to change location of the January meeting from DC to Los Angeles. Therefore WPFW had plans and arrangements made while KPFK does not. Further, the GM does not think there is time to make such arrangements.
Discussion went to time and a motion to extend time for 5 minutes was offered by Director Allen and approved by consensus. It was agreed by consensus to hold the January meeting in Washington, DC as was originally scheduled.
Code of Conduct: Director Shafto noted that there is a sub-committee of the Governance committee working on the Code of Conduct, and it would be in order to have that committee bring its work forward at the next meeting rather than discuss the matter now. Motion agreed by consensus.
Public meeting adjourned and the PNB moved to executive session.
