Selected answer:approal meetings

Explanation:
Look at the third meaning below:

sign off

1. Announce the end of a communication, especially a broadcast. For example, There's no one there now; the station has signed off for the night. [c. 1920]
2. Stop talking, become silent, as in Every time the subject of marriage came up, Harold signed off. [Colloquial; mid-1900s]
3. Express approval formally or conclusively, as in The President got the majority leader to sign off on the tax proposal. This usage is colloquial.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result, we would need a debrief meeting to divulge the new approved policies, etc.

Mike :)
