Minutes

None of the minutes is complete. Many are missing. In some cases the minutes did not include an attendance list. When an attendance list was present, the roles and titles of the attendees was not always provided. Only rarely did the minutes record whether the attendees had reviewed and approved the minutes of the previous meeting, or the date of the next meeting. The minutes seldom recorded the wording of motions, who seconded them, who voted for them or against them, or even the vote tally. In some cases where an attendance list was part of the minutes, decisions were made when the board did not have quorum. The

notes that of the minutes of the 43 Program Review Board meetings it was able to review, all from 2003, just two were attended by the Iraqi member. The list of minutes available on the board's Web site lists 34 meetings in that year.
