Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, 90 Stat. 1241, that 
the public is entitled to the fullest practicable information regarding 
the decisionmaking processes of the Federal Government. The Postal 
Service is charged to provide the public with this information while 
protecting the rights of individuals and the ability of the Government 
to carry out its responsibilities. Accordingly, except as specifically 
permitted by statute, every portion of every meeting of the Board of 
Governors is open to public observation.
    (b) Except as provided in Sec. 7.3 of these bylaws, every portion of 
every meeting of the Board is open to public observation. Members of the 
Board may not jointly conduct or dispose of business of the Board 
without complying with Secs. 7.2 through 7.8 of these bylaws. Members of 
the public may obtain access to documents considered at meetings to the 
extent provided in the regulations of the Postal Service concerning the 
release of information.
    (c) Without the permission of a majority of the Board, no person may 
participate in, film, televise, or broadcast any portion of any meeting 
of the Board. Any person may electronically record or photograph a 
meeting, as long as that action does not tend to impede or disturb the 
members of the Board in the performance of their duties, or members of 
the public while attempting to attend or observe a meeting of the Board. 
The rules and penalties of 39 CFR 232.6, concerning conduct on postal 
property, apply with regard to meetings of the Board.
