I will take blame for not responding publicly. Truth be told, I had hoped that someone might have read the rules and asked formally for some speech time.
The short answers to both questions posed of me:
1. Non-Senators may speak, but the system is not quite the same; specifically, you do not need to "borrow" time from a Senator. The Special Committee will recognize any citizen, provided that a request for speaking time be made in advance. On that note, would you like to reserve some time, Eiric? If so, let me know and it shall be made.
2. There is no schedule at this time because, to date, no one has requested any time to speak. Anyone who wishes to speak must simply request it.
Rule 9 of the Special Committee: "Any Member of the Committee or non-Member who may wish to speak during the hearing shall make a request for it at least two (2) days in advance to the Chairman or Deputy Chairman, who shall approve, modify, or deny the request publicly."
(And technically the only two times when someone has spoken so far in/to the Special Committee were direct contraventions of the rules, but c'est la vie.)
