Commission accommodates remote testimony, discusses schedule and logistics amid Zoom hiccups
Summary
The chair confirmed the order of witnesses (ChalkPoint then Cardinal), agreed to accommodate remote testimony when needed, and directed staff on breakout-room and livestream procedures after a Zoom disconnect and when confidential testimony was necessary.
Early in the hearing, the chair confirmed the agenda and told participants that ChalkPoint would be the first matter and that Cardinal would follow. Counsel and intervenors discussed whether out-of-town witnesses (including an OPC witness flying from California) could appear virtually if scheduling required it; the chair said the Commission could accommodate remote testimony in its chambers.
The hearing experienced a short Zoom disconnect that briefly interrupted counsel; participants suggested using breakout rooms to handle confidential testimony while maintaining a public record for non-confidential material. The chair instructed non-PSC employees without NDAs to leave the public Zoom or be placed in a breakout before the confidential portion; staff indicated they would pause the livestream as required.
