B. Executive Session Policy currently reads:

 The GPUS Steering Committee will go into Executive Session only under
very specific circumstances. Executive Session is appropriate only for
personnel matters, sensitive legal and financial matters in which the
Party itself is involved in actual or likely legal proceedings, and
when dealing with the proprietary information of vendors and

circumstances for Executive Session.
