MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The International Broadcasting Advisory Board 
(Board) will conduct a meeting closed to the public at the dates and 
times listed above. Board Members (membership includes Chair Kenneth 
Jarin, Luis Botello, Jamie Fly, Jeffrey Gedmin, Michelle Giuda, 
Kathleen Matthews, Under Secretary Elizabeth Allen (Secretary of 
State's Representative)), Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Agency 
for Global Media (USAGM), General Counsel and Acting Board Secretary to 
the Board, the Secretariat to the Board, and recording secretaries will 
attend the closed meeting. Certain USAGM staff members who may be 
called on to brief or support the Board also may attend.
    The USAGM General Counsel and Acting Board Secretary has certified 
that, in his opinion, exemptions set forth in the Government in the 
Sunshine Act, in particular 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2), (6), and (9)(B), 
permit closure of this meeting.
    The entirety of the Board's membership approved the closing of this 
meeting.
    The closed meeting will focus on discussing the development of 
internal rules and practices to govern Board processes and functions. 
This includes developing processes or rules relating to IBAB, USAGM, 
and the USAGM networks. Publicizing these deliberations would frustrate 
the implementation of the very items they will be proposing. [This 
related to (2) and (9).]
    In the event that the time, date, or location of this meeting 
changes, USAGM will post an announcement of the change, along with the 
new time, date, and/or place of the meeting on its website at https://www.usagm.gov.
    Although a separate federal entity, USAGM prepared this notice and 
will continue to support the Board in accordance with 22 U.S.C. 
6205(g).
