GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT:

The Advisory Committee on Public Interest Obligations of Digital Television Broadcasters welcomes public comments.

Oral Comment:

There will be a public comment before the close of the meeting on December 5. There will be standing microphones in the audience for comments and questions from the public and the press. Comments and questions will be taken alternately from each microphone.

Please identify yourself before speaking and, in the interest of allowing as many people to speak as possible, please be brief.

Written Comment:

Any member of the public may submit written comments concerning the Committee's affairs at any time before or after the meeting. Comments should be submitted through electronic mail to piac@ntia.doc.gov (please use "Public Comment" as the subject line) or by letter addressed to the Committee at the address listed below (please place "Public Comment" on the bottom left of the envelope). Written comments received from the public may be mailed (if at least thirty-five (35) paper copies are submitted) or forwarded by email to the committee members prior to the meeting date. However, comments received too close to the meeting date will normally be provided to committee members at the meeting. Written comments received shortly after a meeting will be compiled and sent as briefing material prior to the next meeting.
