August 6, 2024, at a time specified in the meeting agenda. This public

work, not for business marketing purposes. The Chairperson(s) of the 
Committee will conduct the meeting to facilitate the orderly conduct of 
business.

register than there is space available on the agenda, NQIAC will select 
speakers on a first-come, first-served basis from those who applied. 
Those not able to present oral comments may always file written 
comments with the committee.

continuously, written comments relevant to the subjects of the meeting
