All college presidents, the trustees' association, and the media as specified in (e)(iii) of this section shall be notified and invited to participate.

(e) Approximately two weeks prior to the meeting date, the executive director shall mail or provide electronically the meeting notices and/or tentative agendas. The official agendas shall be distributed at least one week prior to the meeting. Distribution of meeting notices and/or agendas shall be done in the following manner:
