\nI asked if I could have a copy of the agenda of the meeting in progress.\nShe said they had all the copies in there but she would get me one later.\n

\nA few minutes later I went back and asked if they were in executive session.\nShe said yes, they already went from the open called meeting into\nexecutive session to discussion personnel.\n

\nHowever, I did pick up a copy of tonight’s agenda, and typed it in,\nso, for apparently the first time ever, here is the agenda for\na VLCIA board meeting on the web before the meeting. -jsq\n
