Can committee of the whole request board go in executive session?

[Guest Diane Yunker]

Can a committee of the whole request the board of commissioners go into executive session without first recessing and reconvening as the board of commissioners?

[Guest Nancy N.]

This would be a committee of the whole of the board's, yes?  (I'm not even sure whether that point is germane, but it's worth nailing down while I'm thumbing frantically.)

[Guest Who's Coming to Dinner]

The committee must rise (not recess) before it recommends that the board go into executive session.

[Guest Diane Yunker]

Yes, Nancy N. The same members comprise the Board as comprise the Committee of the Whole.

Dear Ms Yunker.  Not that I'm trying to dodge your question (I'm only frantically trying to dodge answering it), but have you already read Section 52 of RONR, which is on this subject?  I ask because how I respond will be distinctly different if you have read it and didn't find the answer there, or if you haven't yet had the opportunity to look for yourself and need the answer quick. Not that I (and outrider doppelganger Nancy, that teenage pest) am the only available respondent, but still, it's poor form to fob off a job on someone else when one has begun it.

(And I have all these zombie episodes to catch up on before Sunday.)
