The Executive Board (Access to Information Appeals Committee) considers appeals related to access to information. While most meetings are open to the public, the committee can exclude the public from specific agenda items if they contain confidential or exempt information, or to maintain orderly conduct. Details of agenda items and associated reports are published five days before each meeting, with reasons for any information restrictions explained. The committee's decisions and proceedings are documented and made available, with specific past records accessible via the council's website.
