I agree that is the intent and I will attempt to get the words “or assigned” added<br>
to the policy before it is recommended to the board. I believe this to be an<br>
appropriate editorial change. Note, I do not speak for the AC in this regard, it<br>
is just my personal opinion and a statement of what I intend to do in the upcoming<br>
AC meeting, nothing more.<br>
