the contact person for up-to-date information on these meetings. A

be published quickly enough to provide timely notice.

public will be scheduled at the conclusion of each workgroup meeting.

reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public session, ONC
will take written comments after the meeting until close of business on
that day.
