Summary

Committee reviewed post–first-reading edits to an AI policy and discussed having a technical board liaison or working-group conduit to ensure updates keep pace with model changes; Chair said Byron raised definition concerns and staff adjusted language accordingly.

Chair (S2) reported that an AI policy passed first reading and that Byron had raised concerns about definitions and the need for language adaptable to future model updates. S2 said he "took Byron's changes and sent them to Zach" and that Zach thought the edits made sense. The committee discussed whether to have a board liaison attend the working group or receive periodic written updates to avoid a disconnect between the working group's recommendations and board expectations.

Members suggested identifying a subject-matter contributor (S2 mentioned a possible high-school lead) to provide technical expertise; they agreed the policy committee should coordinate with the working group and receive language updates in draft form so the committee can adjust policy language before future readings.
