2011-9714. Sunshine Act Meeting

DATE AND TIME:

Thursday, April 14, 2011; 3:45 p.m.-4 p.m.

PLACE:

Radio Free Asia Headquarters, 2025 M St., NW., Washington, DC 20036.

SUBJECT:

Notice of Closed Meeting of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

SUMMARY:

At the time and location listed above, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) determined to conduct a meeting closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). The meeting was closed to protect privacy concerns during the consideration of potential appointees to serve as the Director of the Voice of America. Although discussion of the matter in an open setting was considered, the potential consequences of disclosing the identities and circumstances of individuals considered for appointment compelled the Board to close the meeting to public observation. The Board also determined that shorter than usual notice for a meeting was required by official agency business and the delayed availability of required information.
