The edress below said
"we have created plenaries and panels to reflect this engagement."

from m-w.com  Main Entry: ple·na·ry
Pronunciation: \ˈplē-nə-rē, ˈple-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin plenarius, from Latin plenus full — more at full
Date: 15th century
1 : complete in every respect : absolute, unqualified
2 : fully attended or constituted by all entitled to be present

So, used as a noun, a "plenary" is actually a plenary session?  (I've never heard ~pleeneree, only ~pleneree.)
