comment, use the `raise your hand' or `chat' functions in Zoom and wait
to be recognized by the Chair before stating your questions and/or

STATUS: Open, except as noted below.
Audit Committee--Open, except that, upon a vote of the Board of
Directors, the meeting may be closed to the public to receive a
briefing by the Office of Compliance and Enforcement on active
enforcement matter(s) and follow up on open investigation referrals to
and from the Office of Inspector General (ACC Sec. VIII A (5));
receive briefings by LSC Management regarding the status of the TN-4

receive briefings from Management and the Inspector General; to receive

consider and act on the General Counsel's Report on potential and
pending litigation involving LSC; and to consider and act on a list of
