Does this announcement mean they decided to keep quiet about their intentions, and censored the minutes of the meeting? I don't know what "exemption(s) 9(A)(i) of the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. Section 552b(c))" relates to, but they say they closed the meeting to public observation because its subject is covered by that act.

It's worst when you consider that they held a secret meeting to discuss how best to conduct the upcoming normally public meeting behind closed doors. When it was determined that such could be accomplished, the dancing girls were then brought out to round off that secret meeting.
