Sec.  2.2  Definitions.

    (a) Commission. Commission means the Federal Election Commission, 
999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20463.
    (b) Commissioner or Member. Commissioner or Member means an 
individual appointed to the Federal Election Commission pursuant to 2 
U.S.C. 437c(a), but does not include a proxy or other designated 
representative of a Commissioner.
    (c) Person. Person means an individual, including employees of the 
Commission, partnership, corporation, association, or public or private 
organization, other than an agency of the United States Government.
    (d) Meeting. (1) Meeting means the deliberation of at least four 
voting members of the Commission in collegia where such deliberations 
determine or result in the joint conduct or disposition of official 
Commission business. For the purpose of this section, joint conduct does 
not include, for example, situations where the requisite number of 
members is physically present in one place but not conducting agency 
business as a body (e.g., at a meeting at which one member is giving a 
speech while a number of other members are present in the audience). A 
deliberation conducted through telephone or similar communications 
equipment by means of which all persons participating can hear each 
other will be considered a meeting under this section.
    (2) The term meeting does not include the process of notation voting 
by circulated memorandum for the purpose of expediting consideration of 
routine matters. It also does not include deliberations to schedule a 
meeting, to take action to open or close a meeting, or to release or 
withhold information, or to
