Public Comment: Your participation during the public comment period
provides an opportunity for us to hear from you--individuals,

are important in bringing attention to issues and priorities of the
disability community and informing the work of NCD.
For the May 4 Council meeting, NCD will have an extended public
comment period of one hour and requests comments from the public
regarding the impact of genetic editing and fetal medicine on the
future of people with disabilities. Additional information on specifics
of the topic is available on NCD's event page at <a href="https://ncd.gov/events/2023/upcoming-council-meeting">https://ncd.gov/events/2023/upcoming-council-meeting</a>.
Because of the virtual format, the Council will receive public
comment by email or by video or audio over Zoom.
NCD now requires advanced registration to provide public comment
during a Council meeting. Interested parties may register by sending an
email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f4a48196989d97b79b9999919a80b49a9790da939b82"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5b0b2e39373238183436363e352f1b35383f753c342d">[email protected]</span></a> with the subject line ``Public Comment''
and your name, organization, state, and a brief summary of the comments
you intend to make in the body of your email. Deadline for registration
is May 3, 8:00 p.m. EDT. All individuals desiring to make public
comment are strongly encouraged to read NCD's guidelines for public
comment in advance of the meeting at: <a href="https://ncd.gov/events/2023/upcoming-council-meeting">https://ncd.gov/events/2023/upcoming-council-meeting</a>.
NCD will call upon as many individuals who registered as possible
as time permits. All individuals called on to make comments will be
allotted three minutes to speak and then will be asked to stop. Due to
time constraints, NCD makes no guarantee that those who register will
be able to provide comments during the public comment session, however,
all public comment submissions sent via email will be collected and
provided to the Council at the conclusion of the meeting. While public
comment can be submitted on any topic over email, comments during the
meeting should be specific to genetic editing and fetal medicine, as
the input is needed for an upcoming report. If commenters speak on
another topic at the meeting, they will be asked to stop out of
courtesy to those who came prepared to speak on the topic. If any time
remains following the conclusion of the comments of those registered,
NCD may call upon those who desire to make comments but did not
register.
