With respect, this is quite an important point and I am not filibustering on it. The section does not define "monitor", it says the monitor may attend and observe any meeting. It does not say anything about reporting back. It refers to performing the functions of a monitor under the section. I see nothing about reporting back or the duties of a monitor. It says simply that the monitor will attend and observe and perform the functions of a monitor under the section. The functions are not defined apart from the reference to observing and attending.
