2.2 The meetings that were previously approved were generally to take place on a four- week cycle since that was assessed to be the appropriate frequency to accommodate the predicted volume of business the Board would require to deal with. 2.3 It is appropriate that the Board now agree future meeting dates and it is proposed that the Board continues to meet approximately on a four-week cycle since that is still considered to be the appropriate frequency of meetings for the Board to undertake the relevant business. 2.4 The Board previously agreed that it should hold, if necessary, further meetings when required. 2.5 It is therefore proposed that the Board provisionally agree to meet on the following dates and arrangements can thereafter be put in place for accommodation to be reserved for the meetings and the pre meetings on the specified dates.
