If you have to use a telephone-only connection, please make sure that you know how to mute and unmute yourself. If you need to step away from a telephone-only connection, please do not put your call on hold; it may broadcast your phone system’s background music. ● Plan to connect from the strongest internet connection you have (ideally a grounded, ethernet cord if feasible). ● Please connect from a quiet space with as few distractions as possible. ● Please close any non-essential computer programs during the meeting to help with internet connection speed. ● Turn away from email for the short duration of the meeting. ● Headphones or a headset are recommended to reduce background noise and feedback, if available. ● Remember to use your mute/unmute button. Please mute yourself during the meeting unless you are verbally sharing with the rest of the Board. We may mute you from our end if we are having noise issues. ● We would like to recreate as much as possible an in-room presence, so we encourage you to share your video at all times. ● Say your name before you speak. ● When you are speaking, please speak loudly and clearly. ● This is a public meeting, so be aware of your background surroundings that will be viewed from the video. ● The questions box will be available if you are having technical issues that need to be addressed. ● Please do not conduct side conversations in the chat or question box. Due to FACA rule requirements for capturing meeting minutes we ask that you refrain from side conversations in the chat or question box.
