ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Jan. 23, 2019) – The video recording of the Dec. 13, 2018, open meeting of the National Credit Union Administration Board is now available on the agency’s website.

The NCUA posts archived videos of past Board meetings on its Board Meetings, Agendas, and Results webpage, and each video remains on the page for one year.

At the December open meeting, the Board unanimously approved three items:

• Lowering the normal operating level of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund to 1.38 percent from 1.39 percent.
• Posting the final report of the agency’s Regulatory Reform Task Force in the Federal Register, following a briefing by the Office of the General Counsel.
• A final rule making technical amendments to agency regulations to correct minor drafting errors and rescind certain unnecessary provisions.

The offices of the Chief Economist, General Counsel, and Examination and Insurance briefed the Board about the use of blockchain and other financial technologies by credit unions.

The NCUA posts board meeting videos as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to provide transparency and to allow those unable to attend Board meetings the opportunity to become better informed. An interval between the meeting and posting is necessary for the videos to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for the hearing and visually impaired.

The Board Meetings, Agendas, and Results page also has Board agendas, which are posted at least one week in advance of each open meeting; copies of Board Action Bulletins, which summarize the meetings; copies of Board memorandums; and other documents.
