TRIAL ON-LINE SPEAKER CARD REGISTRATION
The Teaching and Learning Committee, in its desire to take
more targeted Public Comment on Agenda Items, on a trial
basis, within the current times allotted for Public Comment,
is returning to it past practice of taking individual Public
Comment on most items on the Agenda (except Consent). As
a result, a separate Speaker Card (Request To Speak) is
required to be filed by the commenter on each Agenda Item
eligible for Public Comment. On line Speaker Card
Registration (Request To Speak) opens at minimum 72 hours
in advance for a Regular Meeting or at minimum 24 hours
in advance for a Special Meeting. Use the eComment Link to
Request (Register) to Speak up to one hour before the
beginning of the meeting.
Manual Speaker Cards also will be available at the meeting
for completion. Request to Speak, on an eligible Agenda
Item, as a matter of equity, is first registered, first called, in
order of Registration whether participation is in person or
virtually.
For advanced Registration, You must establish a one time
OUSD eComment - Register To Speak Account providing
your First Name and Last Name and your email address.
Your First Name and Last Name, as Registered, must also
show as the Participant or Profile Name on a teleconference
system (i.e., zoom, webex, other). You will be requested
toRegister the first time you use the eComment - Request To
Speak.
The Request To Speak System, after the one time
registration, will remember you by first name and last name
(profile) associated with your email address, making it
easier for you to electronically Register or Request to Speak
on an Agenda Item at a future OUSD legislative meeting,
e.g., Board, committee, commission. Early Pre-meeting
Request To Speak (Registration) is urged for all -
whetheryou plan to attend meeting in person or
view meeting via teleconference or listen to the meeting by
