(a) Finding. Based, in part, on a review of several months of its meetings, as well as the legislative history of the Sunshine Act, the Commission finds that a majority of its meetings may properly be closed to the public pursuant to §200.402(a) (4), (8), (9)(i), or (10), or any combination thereof.

(b) Action to close meeting. The Commission may, by recorded vote of a majority of its members at the commencement of any meeting or portion thereof, determine to close any meeting or a portion thereof properly subject to being closed pursuant to §200.402(a) (4), (8), (9)(i), or (10), or any combination thereof. The procedure described in this rule may be utilized notwithstanding the fact that a meeting or portion thereof properly subject to being closed pursuant to §200.402(a) (4), (8), (9)(i), or (10), or any combination thereof, could also be closed pursuant to §200.402(a) (1), (2), (3), (5), (6), (7), or (9)(ii), or any combination thereof.

(c) Announcement of action to close meeting. In the case of a meeting or a portion of a meeting closed pursuant to this rule, as soon as practicable the Commission shall make publicly available:

(1) A written record reflecting the vote of each participating member of the Commission to close the meeting; and

(2) The certification described in §200.406, executed by the Commission's General Counsel.
