Are Council notes public?

Not automatically. 

Council notes may be internal, controlled, restricted, public-safe, or approved for publication depending on the nature of the meeting, participants, information discussed, and output status. 

Some notes may contain sensitive information, participant names, preliminary views, controlled materials, conflict disclosures, finance-readiness gaps, insurance-readiness questions, public authority learning context, sponsor matters, or Nexus Universe preparation details. Those notes should remain controlled. 

A public-safe summary may be prepared if appropriate. It should remove confidential details, sensitive participant information, restricted materials, unsupported claims, investment-sensitive language, underwriting-sensitive language, public authority overclaims, sponsor-sensitive references, and unapproved status statements. 

Participants should not publish or circulate Council notes unless they have been approved for that purpose. 

The default rule is: Council notes are internal unless expressly made public.
