SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section

    NMFS expects members of the public to conduct themselves

amount of time to speak and speakers should not interrupt one another). 
The session will be structured so that all attending members of the

of controversy of the subject(s). Those not respecting the ground rules

    After the open session, the Advisory Committee will meet in closed
