Public attendance at the open portions of this USAFA BoV meeting
shall be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis up to the
reasonable and safe capacity of the meeting room. In addition, any

Supporting documentation may also be included as needed to establish
the appropriate historical context and provide any necessary background
information. Written statements can be submitted to the Designated
Federal Officer (DFO) at the address detailed below at any time.
However, if a written statement is not received at least 10 days before
the first day of the meeting which is the subject of this notice, then
it may not be provided to, or considered by, the BoV until its next
open meeting. The DFO will review all timely submissions with the BoV
Chairperson and ensure they are provided to members of the BoV before
the meeting that is the subject of this notice. For the benefit of the

submitter of the written comments to orally present their issue during
an open portion of the BoV meeting that is the subject of this notice.
Members of the BoV may also petition the Chairperson to allow specific
persons to make oral presentations before the BoV. Any oral
