Puolisuljettuja

Puolisuljettuja is a Finnish term that translates to "semi-closed" or "partially closed." It is most commonly used in the context of closed-door meetings or sessions, particularly within political or organizational settings. A puolisuljettuja meeting implies that while the general public or a broader group might not be present, a specific, defined subset of individuals or representatives is allowed to attend. This distinction is important as it differs from a fully closed meeting where only a very select few are involved, or a fully open meeting accessible to all.

The purpose of holding a puolisuljettuja session can vary. It might be to discuss sensitive information that cannot be made public, but which needs to be shared with a wider group of stakeholders than just the core decision-makers. For example, a parliamentary committee might hold a puolisuljettuja hearing to hear from experts or witnesses who have confidential information to share, while still allowing other committee members to participate. Similarly, a board of directors might have a puolisuljettuja session to discuss a strategic proposal before it is presented to the entire membership. The exact participants and the reasons for the semi-closed nature are usually determined by the organizing body or the established rules of procedure. The term emphasizes a degree of exclusivity while maintaining a broader level of inclusion than a completely private gathering.
