				organizations, special interest groups, and other multimember bodies, testimony
				shall normally be limited to one individual representative.
In the case of all presentations, the board reserves the right,
				without notice, to limit the length of any particular presentation or to
				reschedule presentations when, in its judgment, the demands of public business

				in this regulation shall be liberally interpreted to the end that all
				interested citizens and organized groups shall be able to address the board on
				any matter relevant to its responsibilities and duties in the operations of
