don’t be intimidated by this technology, participation in this webcast
is very simple. To participate fully you will need to initiate two separate

The other portion is for the computer presentations, which uses your computer’s
browser to connect to the GoToMeeting site.

- If you have the
feature on your telephone, using mute when you are not talking helps
reduce unnecessary noise on the line.
- Please do not
put the teleconference on hold to avoid rerouting of the call or introducing
extraneous music into the teleconference.
Computer Presentations (GoToMeeting Service)
From 9:45 a.m. to 9:55 a.m. EDT, please start the online presentation
portion (GoToMeeting) following the directions below. This will allow
us to assist if you run into any difficulties.

1. Click
on the https link to GoToMeeting list above.
- The first time
you use GoToMeeting it will need to load an ActiveX applet.
- Depending on your
version of Windows and your security settings, you may receive an Information
Box prompt saying that “the site might require the following ActiveX
control. Click here to install.” Please click on the bar and install
the ActiveX control.
- A security warning
may appear – please click the Install button.
- Once the software
is installed a box will appear prompting you for your name and email.
2. Please enter your name and organization’s acronym and click OK.
- Example –
Frank (OFCM) or if you have multiple users together, please enter all
the first names of the attendees at your site (e.g. Frank Ken Tony (OFCM)).
- Entering your
email address is not necessary.
- It is up to you
whether you want to have the system remember your name and email.
- The two parts
of GoToMeeting will appear, the presentation screen and to the right
the GoToMeeting conference information window.
- The GoToMeeting
conference information window allows you to see the attendees, the chat
log and to chat with other virtual conference attendees. You can hide
and unhide this window by clicking on the arrows.
3. You are now a conference attendee, but please remember to dial-in
for the voice content.
Additional Directions for Remote Presenters Only
Please email your presentation before the meeting to kenneth.barnett@noaa.gov

were to fail.
1. After establishing a connection to the teleconference and GoToMeeting
conference, please open your presentation on your computer.

ready and waiting for your time to present.
- Next OFCM will
allow your computer to be the presenter. At this point, please close
any confidential windows and respond to the “You’re the
Presenter” dialog box.
2. On the “You’re the Presenter” dialog box, you must
pick a presentation method. Choose from the three possible methods.
- Screen –
which is everything that appears on your screen will now show to all
attendees.
- Screen CLEAN –
which hides your icons, background and taskbar from showing to the attendees.
- Pick from an open
application – which will only show that application to the attendees.
3. For Power Point, start the slide show (F5 or the Screen Icon) and
