I, JULIANNE D'ANGELO FELLMETH, do hereby declare as follows: 1. I am the Administrative Director of the Center for Public Interest Law ("CPIL") at

the University of San Diego ("USD") School of Law. I am an attorney licensed by the State Bar of California since 1983 (State Bar Number 109288). I have worked at CPIL and USD for 21 years. I team-teach the Center's required course, Public Interest Law and Practice, in which I instruct USD law students on California's "sunshine laws" applicable to state agencies; these laws include the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, California Government Code §§ 11120, et seq. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein, and if called upon, I could and would competently testify thereto. 2. From October 2006 through April 2007, I supervised Bradley Johnson ("Johnson")

and Crystal Muhlenkamp ("Muhlenkamp"), two then-USD law students who have now graduated from the USD School of Law, in their monitoring of the California Travel and Tourism Commission ("CTTC") for compliance with the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. 3. From October 2006 through April 2007, Johnson, Muhlenkamp, and I collected

various CTTC meeting notices, agendas, and materials via several methods: (1) Muhlenkamp placed her name and address (both residence and e-mail) on the CTTC's list of "interested parties" who wish to receive notice of CTTC meetings; she received various notices and agendas of meetings via U.S. mail and/or e-mail and either forwarded them to me or printed them and gave them to me; (2) all three of us frequently visited the Web sites of the CTTC and its parent agency (the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, or BTH) and downloaded CTTC meeting information; and (3) Johnson and Muhlenkamp attended several meetings of the CTTC and its various committees during February 2007. 4. On October 12, 2007 at 3:50 p.m., I searched CTTC's Web site and clicked on I printed out the pages containing CTTC's membership and the

"Committee Rosters."

membership of all of its committees (last updated September 29, 2007). True and correct copies of these materials are attached as Exhibit A. 5. True and correct copies of e-mail notices of CTTC's October 23-24, 2007

meetings dated on September 6, 2007; September 20, 2007; September 27, 2007; and October 15, 1 07CV2174H(BLM)

CTTC's October 23-24, 2007 meetings. I found such a notice, but only via the following route: (a) I searched BTH's Web site at www.bth.ca.gov; (b) I ran my cursor over "Programs and Initiatives," and clicked on "California Travel and Tourism Commission (CTTC)"; (c) I clicked on the Commission's Web site at www.visitcalifornia.ca.gov; (d) I scrolled to the bottom of the page and clicked on "travel industry"; (e) I clicked on "Agendas/Minutes" but found no posted notice of or agenda for CTTC's October 23-24, 2007 meetings; (f) I clicked on "Meeting Materials" but found no posted notice of or agenda for CTTC's October 23-24, 2007 meetings; (g) I clicked on "CTTC Publications"; (h) I clicked on "CTTC Insights - Monthly Online Newsletter"; (i) I scrolled to the bottom of the page and clicked on "CTTC October Commission Meeting."
