GoToWebinar
For the December 2020 Full Board, Committee and/or Workshop meetings, GoToWebinar.com will be used to conduct the meetings over the Internet. Pursuant to Executive Order N-29-20, Board Members and Committee Members will be participating remotely. The public may observe, provide public comment during the public comment periods, and otherwise observe remotely in accordance with Bagley-Keene Open Meetings Act as described below. If the GoToWebinar teleconference is interrupted or terminated for any reason and cannot be restored quickly and without the loss of attendees and participating members, the meeting will be terminated and rescheduled.

Submitting A Comment: During the meeting, all participants will be muted by the meeting organizer. Participants will have an option to submit a comment, either by writing your comment or by directly addressing the members verbally. To submit a written comment, type the text of the comment in the “Questions” pane of the GoToWebinar interface. To submit a comment by verbally addressing the members, select the “Raise Hand” icon on the left-hand side of the GoToWebinar interface. The meeting organizer will call you by name and unmute you so you can address the Board or Committee members. If you are commenting verbally, please be sure to unmute your phone or device. An example image of the GoToWebinar interface, with the “Raise Hand” icon and “Questions” pane in bold, is in Figure 1. For best audio quality, it is recommended meeting participants call in to the audio rather than using their coDRAFT mputer audio. The audio information, including call-in number, access code, and PIN, can be found in participant’s registration confirmation email and in the “Audio” pane in the GoToWebinar interface.
