The NSB provides some flexibility around meeting times. After the
first meeting of each day, actual meeting start and end times will be
allowed to vary by no more than 15 minutes in either direction. As an
example, if a 10:00 meeting finishes at 10:45, the meeting scheduled to
begin at 11:00 may begin at 10:45 instead. Similarly, the 10:00 meeting
may be allowed to run over by as much as 15 minutes if the Chair
decides the extra time is warranted. The next meeting would start no
later than 11:15. Arrive at the NSB boardroom or check the webcast 15
minutes before the scheduled start time of the meeting you wish to
observe.
Chris Blair,
Executive Assistant to the National Science Board Office.
