No old business. New business included the rules for the election of At-Large DNC member and Exect Comte members at the DNC meeting tomorrow. under the rules, there will be no nominations from the floor and vote will be on the chair’s slate. The RBC recommended a Charter amendment addressing gender balance for DNC officers – providing that they be equally divided by gender as practicable.
Next meeting likely in New Orleans in Nov – RBC will start looking at 2016 national convention delegate selection process and may address issues including calendar and state order and convention delegate affirmative action guidelines. The DNC will consult with RNC re calendar as was done for 2012.No, there is not a whole lot in there about the 2016 rules other than the mention of matters like the primary calendar being on the RBC's radar for consideration at future meetings. But, then again, the expectations were not for there to be fundamental changes to the rules coming out of Scottsdale.
The only other thing is the point that the DNC and RNC will be interacting with the 2016 rules in mind. FHQ will be in DC in late September for the one planned face-to-face between some of the rules makers from both parties. I'll have more on that as it approaches.

Thanks, as always, to Frank for chiming in on the the RBC's activities.
