The Bureau is incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida as a private not-for-profit organization and its contract for destination marketing services specifically precludes it from doing business as an agent of its Interlocal Partners . Regardless, and, in the spirit of cooperation, the Bureau recognizes the importance of providing the media and the Bureau' s Interlocal .Partners access to Board and Executive Committee meetings and Bureau records without compromising its ability to successfully compete in the marketplace, nor its ability to function effectively. As has been the practice, representatives of the media and the Interlocal Partnership will continue to have full access to all meetings of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, subject to the understanding and limitations outlined below: If at any time the Chairman of the' Bureau believes an item to be discussed is of such a sensitive and proprietary nature that it could hurt the Bureau's efforts to bring business to the Greater Miami area or would impair the Bureau's efforts to operate in an effective manner in reaching its goals and objectives, the Chairman may request that the matter be treated as confidential by those attending the meeting. In that situation, reporters may continue to sit in on that meeting and take notes, but would agree to write nothing without first discussing that intention with the Chairman. If, after conversations between the Chairman and the reporters, they are unable to agree on whether a story is warranted, the Chairman may take the matter to the senior editors of the news organization for discussion. The reporters will hold off writing a story, if any, until the issues have been fully discussed by the Chairman and the senior editors. In addition, the Bureau will also make all of its records available for inspection by the media and the Bureau' s Interlocal Partners subject, however, to the same limitations and exclusions set forth above, and any disagreements will be resolved in a manner similar to that outlined for confidential matters arising from meetings of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. 22
