The Corporation For Public Broadcasting (CPB) board is scheduled May 1 to vote on a boatload of measures to update and strengthen its governance and external controls. Following an April 26 meeting of one of three committees created by the board in November to oversee the expansive review, the full board will meet to vote on a set of new or amended policies relating to: its code of ethics; conflicts of interest; open meeting procedures--i.e. when the board can or can't hold open meetings; procedures preventing political tests in employment actions; whistle-blower nonretaliation policies; and the handling of investigation-related records.
