So much for a January 21 follow up meeting for the new AZ Independent Redistricting Commission UPDATED 1-20-21 1:10 am MST

Arizona law requires the Redistricting Commission to post official meeting notices and agendas 48 hours prior any meeting.

It's less than 48 hours until Thursday morning. There is nothing posted to azredistricting.org under press releases or meeting notices for this newly (almost completely) reconstituted IRC. I didn't get anything by email, from anyone, including the Secretary of State's office either. Therefore, it doesn't seem like they'll be able to lawfully hold that meeting as announced at the end of the last meeting.

This evening, I inquired about it but don't expect a response until Wednesday morning. I received a response. 

UPDATE

So, if nobody knows where "official notice" was posted, how can it be official public notice?
