then pass it
on to committee members" rather than "Bediako will provide contact
information
for past Personnel committee chairs...."

Efia Nwangaza: Strike second sentence from paragraph 5 regarding
discussion of committee's authority and 1st paragraph, Item 6 "Essential
Info..." be corrected to read "Nwangaza moved that we ask past chairs for
documents related to our committee, and that the committee gather the
essential information documents from prior committee chairs necessary to
define the authority of the committee for the work plan for the Personnel
Committee in preparation for the evaluation of the ED and CFO, including
review of the Pacifica personnel policy".


Nia Bediako: 2nd paragraph, Item 6 "Essential Info..." (as referenced
