For a discrete group \(G\), exactness is known to be equivalent to amenability at infinity, which means that \(G\) acts amenably on some compact Hausdorff space. The paper under review generalizes this equivalence to locally compact second countable groups. Some other characterizations of exactness are also generalized.
