Normally, notice of advisory committee meetings are published at least 15 calendars prior to the meeting date. However, due to: (1) The compelling need for the Commission to discuss new information concerning Georgetown University's proposal for a boathouse on the Potomac River; (2) the difficulty of finding a date suitable to all Commission members; and (3) the difficulty of finding a suitable meeting location, it was not possible to give 15 calendar days advance notice.
