(a) General rule. Except as provided in § 375.206, meetings of the Commission will be open meetings.

(b) Public participation in open meetings.

(1) Members of the public are invited to listen and observe at open meetings.

(i) “Observe” does not include participation or disruptive conduct, and persons engaging in such conduct will be removed from the meeting.
