  Where are we going in the future regarding policy governance? Nancy said it depends on who you talk to - some are comfortable some are not. Nancy expressed concern regarding the amount of information disseminated to the Board and stated that her role was to represent the public by analyzing the decisions to be made rather than rubber stamping proposals.
