comments in the order in which they registered to speak, each speaker
will have an equal amount of time to speak and speakers should not
interrupt one another). The session will be structured so that all

regardless of the degree of controversy of the subject(s). Those not
respecting the ground rules will be asked to leave the meeting. After
the open session, the Advisory Committee will meet in closed session to
