SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

potential improvements to the 

procedures for immigration removal 

adjudication. 

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 

members will discuss the research 

report by posting comments to the 

forum and reading comments submitted 

to the forum by other members of the 

committee and the public. All 

comments will be reviewed prior to 

posting by the Designated Federal

moderator. This virtual meeting will 

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

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 

submitted outside business hours. 

The Web forum will be opened to 

both members of the Committee on 

Adjudication and the public for 

submission and viewing of comments 

on February 27, 2012 at 9 a.m. The 

forum will remain open for submission

forum Web site that the discussion has

ended, the forum will remain available 

for viewing but will not accept 

additional comments.
