• A PIG may include among its members people who are not members of the <br />board that created the PIG. A PIG may also consult with others (i.e., staff, <br />members of the public, individuals with expertise in a field, stakeholders, etc.) <br />in furtherance of its investigation, but should NOT consult with other members <br />of its parent board. <br />• Members of a board who are not part of the PIG may NOT attend PIG <br />meetings or be included in PIG communications. <br />• Before the PIG reports to the board, PIG members should not discuss the <br />status of their investigation with other board members who are not part of the <br />PIG. <br />• A standing committee of a board may create a PIG, and such PIGs must <br />follow all the requirements of section 92-2.5(b), HRS, including reporting back <br />to the committee that created them. <br />• Sometimes, it may be better for a board to establish a temporary committee <br />instead of a PIG, or to delegate authority to one member to perform a task <br />and report back to the board. See OIP Op. Ltr. No. F23-01 at 15-16 for more <br />information. <br />• A PIG may continue its work after the loss of a PIG member. For example, if <br />a PIG's member's term on the board ends, that member also ceases to be a <br />PIG member, but the PIG can continue working with the remaining original <br />members. The board should not substitute another board member into that <br />vacant PIG position. The PIG's membership was previously established at <br />the initial meeting that created the PIG and new members cannot be added. <br />The PIG can continue without the now -departed member, but if a board wants <br />to change the PIG's membership, it should first allow the current PIG to report <br />back and automatically dissolve. After hearing the investigative PIG's report <br />and waiting until a subsequent board meeting to discuss and act on the <br />report, the board can then create a new PIG to carry on the now -dissolved <br />PIG's work. <br />• Similarly, once a PIG is formed, the board may not add new assigned tasks to <br />an existing PIG. <br />Quick Review: Who Board Members Can Talk To and When Part 3 (Dec. 2022) Nee 3 <br />
