Providing Oral or Written Comments at SAB Meetings

presented at its meetings will not be repetitive of previously 
submitted oral or written statements. In general, opportunities for 
oral comment at face-to-face meetings will be usually limited to ten 
minutes per speaker. At teleconference meetings, speakers will be 
usually limited to three minutes per speaker and no more than fifteen 
minutes total. Written comments (at least 35 copies) received in the 
SAB Staff Office sufficiently prior to a meeting date (usually one week 
prior to a meeting), may be mailed to the committees or its respective 
subcommittees prior to its meeting; comments received too close to the 
meeting date will normally be provided to the Council and its 
subcommittees at the meeting. Written comments may be provided up until 
the time of the meeting.
