bigeks Posted January 31, 2011 at 08:31 PM Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 at 08:31 PM If someone is not present at an executive session, can someone share with that person the content discussed, with the idea being that the absent person, if they did attend the meeting, would be priveleged to remain at executive session? Or would the person only be privy to the topics at a subsequent executive session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exception would be if the member did not have the right to attend the meeting (or part of it), such as the accused for some portions of his trial.

Specifically, that when the word "member" is used on this forum or in RONR it refers to a member of the assembly that was meeting unless stated otherwise.
