A staff member played a recorded public-service announcement during the meeting urging parents, mentors and other trusted adults to "take the pledge to protect" and visit knowtoprotect.gov for age-appropriate resources to help prevent online child exploitation and abuse.

The announcement said, "I took the pledge to protect to stand up, to be a guardraven, and now it's your turn. Take the pledge to protect. Your pledge is a commitment to help protect kids and teens from online child ****** exploitation and abuse. Receive age appropriate resources and share what you learn with others by passing the pledge to protect. Visit knowtoprotect.gov to learn more." Later the recording repeated, "Every parent, every mentor, every trusted adult, calling all kids and teens. Take the pledge, pass the pledge. Together, we can stop online child exploitation. Take the pledge to protect today."

The meeting did not record any formal discussion, motion, or vote related to the announcement. No funding, program adoption, or next steps tied to the pledge were presented on the record. The audio served as a public-awareness item directing listeners to the website for resources and to encourage sharing the pledge.

The announcement targets adults with caregiving or mentoring roles and asks them both to take the pledge and to share age-appropriate materials with young people. The recording provided the URL knowtoprotect.gov as the source for resources but did not specify sponsoring agency, funding sources, or enforcement mechanisms.

No formal actions were taken during the meeting related to the pledge; the item was an informational/awareness message played for attendees.
