Additional Instructions
- Do not watch the webcast if you are also accessing the meeting via videoconference. The webcast is time delayed and unmuted participants can cause audio feedback.
- When you log into the videoconference from a browser, you must enter your name so the meeting organizer can identify you and ask you to unmute yourself when it is your turn to speak.
- If you call in using a telephone instead of using the computer audio, please enter the Participant ID when prompted so that the videoconference software can connect your audio correctly. If a Participant ID is not entered, the meeting organizer will only see a telephone number and may not be able to quickly identify you when it is your turn to speak.
- Call in or videoconference into the meeting a few minutes before the public comment session begins to resolve any technical issues.
Guidelines for Commenting
- Commenters may have up to three minutes to speak.
- Please be respectful and patient so all interested commenters can be fairly heard.
- You will be muted until it is your turn to speak. While muted, you will be able to hear the meeting and can continue watching the videoconference if you are connected from a computer or mobile device.
- Regardless of whether you participate via phone, computer, or mobile device, please participate from a quiet environment so that all attendees can hear you.
- If you are using the internet to connect to the meeting, try to ensure you have a good connection or strong signal.
- It is important to avoid creating acoustic feedback. If there are other devices near you that are tuned into the meeting, please make sure that the speakers on those devices are off when it is your turn to speak.
- The meeting organizer will maintain order. People who are disruptive may be disconnected or muted by the organizer.
- Other public commenters will be able to see your name and, if you call in, your phone number.
