I didn't take it that exec session will be about these issues -- but the Board is simply announcing possibility in connection with anything on or off table.

Is the proximity the announcement of possibile exec session to this list of agenda items  where you draw your deduction or are you hearing something else?

I agree that the proximity of the Executive Session disclaimer could be related to anything.  I have not heard anything specifically related to travel abuses being discussed at the IHL meeting prior to looking at the agenda.  What I have heard, however, from many sources other than this website where there have been postings in the past couple weeks, is that there are serious international travel abuses that will surface from USM.  I went looking on the IHL site  this morning to find something in the by-laws that will squelch the rumor that Shelby is going to get 4 more years at this meeting - don't believe there is a mechanism to do that.  Meanwhile, this caught my eye and I think the pairing of "personnel matters" with "international travel" may mean something.
