    Hi! Oops, this is what happens when one looks at the agenda AFTER the meeting is adjourned. :) I see that the agenda called for us to take up my suggestion from some months ago about Reading in Prisons as a possible line of IFRT inquiry. But we adjourned without considering any other business.

    I still think this is a matter for the Board to talk about at some point. It's important.

    Thanks,
      Jeremy B.

    I'm sorry I forgot to put the item back on the agenda! I'll be sure to add it to next month's agenda (once we confirm the date), and I look forward to the conversation.
