General best practices:

  • Please keep your microphone muted by default to avoid potential sound issues.
  • The meeting is moderated by the Chair.
  • If you’d like to make a comment or proposal, please indicate this by raising your hand in Zoom
  • NB. If you are dialled into the meeting using a phone number, you will not be able to raise your hand or participate in indicative voting.
