The latter would be more sensible given the glacial speed of the
board's operation, but the former is what's written. How about this
language instead:

This committee shall operate openly in view of the public. The
committee itself shall determine reasonable procedures for
transacting its business, both for its operations and decisionmaking.
(The board reserves the right to veto or modify those procedures.)
