HALVORSON: Now I can. <br />CHR. CABANAS: <br />Oh, okay. <br />MR. WISEMAN: <br />If it's a closed session, then— <br />CHR. CABANAS: We are in open session. <br />MR. WISEMAN: Open session now—okay. <br />CHR. CABANAS: So, Jim, if you could provide guidance to the Board, the Appellant requested <br />a closed hearing, so I have not identified who the Appellant is in an open session. Your advice? <br />The Board members have his appeal in front of them, so they can see who it is. <br />MR. WISEMAN: His—Madam Chair, excuse me, but I don't consider his name as secret. It's <br />the session, what goes on in the closed session that's not available to the public. But his name, <br />by all means, it'swe have records of it, there's nothing sealed. This is not a sealed hearing. <br />Page 5 <br />
