CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Notice of Closed Meetings

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of Closed Meetings of the Board of Directors.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On Friday, June 18, 2004, a majority of the Board of Directors 
(Board) of the Corporation for National and Community Service 
(Corporation) voted, pursuant to 45 CFR 2505.4, to close public 
observation for a newly-scheduled meeting on June 21, 2004, and for a 
portion of an expanded meeting on June 22, 2004 that was previously 
noticed in the Federal Register. The meetings, or portions thereof, to 
be closed involve discussions of the draft AmeriCorps rulemaking 
proposal the Corporation plans to submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget rulemaking docket. The vote followed a determination, in 
accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act and the 
Corporation's regulations, that Board business required this discussion 
without the delay that would be necessary to make a public announcement 
at least one week before the meeting, as described in 45 CFR 2505.6. 
Thus, the Board determined by a majority vote that an additional 
meeting on June 21, 2004 was necessary and that the subject matter of 
the Board meeting on June 22, 2004, as previously announced, should be 
expanded, to add the discussion of this proposal to the agenda for this 
meeting, and that no earlier announcement of the change was possible.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 2505.5(e), the General Counsel of the 
Corporation for National and Community Service has certified that, in 
his opinion, the portions of the meetings to be closed could properly 
be closed to public observation on the grounds that disclosing the 
information to be discussed to the public prematurely would 
significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action, 
pursuant to 45 C.F.R. 2505.4(h)(i). The Board accepted that 
determination in voting to close the meetings.
    As provided in 45 CFR 2505.5(c), the members of the Board voting in 
favor of closing this portion of the meeting were: Stephen Goldsmith; 
Alan Solomont; Dorothy Johnson; Donna Williams; Cynthia Burleson; and 
Carol Kinsley.
    The Corporation expects the following Corporation for National and 
Community staff to attend the closed portions of the meetings: David 
Eisner, Chief Executive Officer; Michelle Guillermin, Chief Financial 
Officer and Acting Chief Operating Officer; Amy Mack, Chief of Staff; 
Frank Trinity, General Counsel; Rosie Mauk, Director of AmeriCorps; 
Katherine Hoehn, Director of Congressional Affairs; Nicola Goren, 
Associate General Counsel. In addition, the Corporation expects the 
following members of the Board of Directors to attend: Stephen 
Goldsmith (Chair); Alan Solomont; Dorothy Johnson; Donna Williams; 
Cynthia Burleson; Carol Kinsley; Henry Lozano; Marc Racicot; William 
Schambra; Juanita Doty.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, contact Frank 
Trinity, General Counsel, at (202) 606-5000 ext. 256.

    Dated: June 18, 2004.
Frank R. Trinity,
General Counsel.
