  § 0.602   Open meetings.

   (a) All meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of
   this subpart.

   (b) Except as provided in § 0.603, every portion of every meeting shall be
   open to public observation. Observation does not include participation or
   disruptive conduct by observers, and persons engaging in such conduct will
   be removed from the meeting.

   (c) The right of the public to observe open meetings does not alter those
   rules in this chapter which relate to the filing of motions, pleadings, or
   other documents. Unless such pleadings conform to the other procedural
   requirements of this chapter, pleadings based upon comments or discussions
   at open meetings, as a general rule, will not become part of the official
   record,  will  receive  no consideration, and no further action by the
   Commission will be taken thereon.

   (d) Deliberations, discussions, comments or observations made during the
   course  of  open  meetings  do not themselves constitute action of the
   Commission. Comments made by Commissioners may be advanced for purposes of
   discussion and may not reflect the ultimate position of a Commissioner.
