The Board may accept, reject, or return committee recommendations for further study. Any action stemming from committee reports is the responsibility of the Board. Release of information concerning committee findings shall be the responsibility and the prerogative of the Board. Upon
completing its assignment, each committee shall be given a new assignment or be dissolved.
