The committee will meet via a virtual, online Web forum extending over a period of approximately six weeks. See 41 CFR 102–3.140(e) (permitting meetings conducted ‘‘in whole or part by * * * the Internet’’). Committee

enable the committee to discuss the committee’s business using modern communications tools in an open and transparent fashion.

The public will be able to view all comments on the forum. The public may also participate by submitting comments either electronically or by
mail or fax via the contact information provided above. The DFO will review all comments received, both online and through other means of submission. The DFO will post all public comments received, excepting those that contain
trade secret or other confidential information, or that are obscene, libelous, threatening, unrelated to the topic being discussed, or otherwise evidently inappropriate for posting. When submitting comments, please bear in mind that, because the Web forum will be moderated, it may take some time for comments to appear on the forum, particularly for comments
