Presenting to the Council Over Video Conference 

In order to present to the Tribal Council, an agenda request form is required to be completed fully, including an email address and phone number. This allows a moderator to connect and disconnect individuals in accordance with the agenda. If agenda request forms are not completed and turned in one week prior to the meeting, the request may be moved to the next available public meeting.

The Tribe's meetings will be held virtually. Presenters may connect to the meeting with your laptop or alternate equipment, or call in with a phone. Virtual meeting etiquette is required to ease the presentation and allow everyone to fully hear one another. Video Conferencing etiquette includes:

• Have your computer or phone on mute, until speaking
• Only those individuals called upon by the Chairman may speak
• All presenters must make their presentation within their allotted time of 10 minutes.

The Karuk Tribe uses the StarLeaf video conferencing system.  Instructions on how to join the meetings will be sent to the email address in the agenda request form a few days prior to the meeting.
