Committee, by advising the Committee members of the matter to be 
presented; through a Facilitator at 3 the discretion of the Committee; 
or at the invitation of a Committee member, subject to the discretion 
of the Committee. FRA has given advance notice to all committee members 
of the meeting schedule and anticipates attendance or representation by 
all Committee members, as well as the public during this important 
process.
