(2) If the non-government entity is funded by a government agency, ATSIEB may also discuss matters relating to the service, program or funding with the executive officer of the agency. Note Under s 26, ATSIEB may invite an executive officer to its meetings to discuss any issues relating to functions of ATSIEB or the agency.
