Given that an interpretation of the Open Meeting Law falls within the authority of the Attorney GeneralsOffice (AGO) and not this office, I am unable to address those issues in this determination. See G. L. c. 30A, 23. Consequently, I encourage the parties to contact the AGO for a determination on the status of the executive session minutes. Conclusion Accordingly, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Sincerely, Rebecca S.
