How can I register to speak?
Delegations are allowed to speak in accordance with policy T.14

number of delegations is normally ten (10) at a Standing Committee.
A delegation wishing to address a matter to the attention of the Board
shall appear before the Standing Committee with jurisdiction in the matter.
Standing committees shall be held on Wednesdays.
Delegations may register with the Recording Secretary of the Board by
submitting a written Delegation Registration form (available on the Board’s

Friday preceding is a holiday, the package must be submitted by 11 a.m. of
the Thursday preceding the committee meeting. This is the preferred method
