[SOA] Article 4 on Closed Sessions

Following legal concerns and questions on the extent the Provost Office may exercise its authority to execute standard rules of order to execute Magisterium tasks, I propose the following edits to the SoM.

Changes to paragraph 1 should be straightforward and set the tone on our focus on legislative clarity. Paragraph 2 clarifies additionally onto the formation of the FPC and how and who should be executing the Closed Session. Finally, paragraph 3 wants to insist the important on participants’ character and transparency.
