several minutes before the start of the meeting.

*To make public comment in person or via Zoom you must sign up as early as
possible* and no later than two hours prior to the meeting. To sign up for
public comment contact Patrick J. Rodriguez at
patrickj.rodriguez at state.nm.us. <mpatrickj.rodriguez at state.nm.us> If you
plan to comment, you may want to mention a few basic principles that should
guide their recommendations. (If they haven’t already made up their minds!)

*Here are some talking points from which you can pick and choose:*
Based on a review of the candidates’ applications, there are many who do
not meet the minimum requirements stipulated in the legislation. I hope
this committee will carefully vet the candidates to ensure they meet those
requirements. Specifically, candidates must have "*at least ten years of
professional experience” *in an area regulated by the commission or in the
energy sector and involving a scope of work that includes accounting,
public or business administration, economics, finance, statistics, policy,
engineering or law. Many of the final candidates do not meet this threshold.

*Please encourage the commission to select candidates:*

   - with specific prior experience in a regulatory process,
   - who have lived in New Mexico for at least five years,
   - with experience in renewable energy,
   - to achieve geographic and culturally diverse representation across our
   state.

*Based on these criteria, there are three candidates who rise to the top:*

   1. Carolyn Glick, 16 years as a PRC Hearing Examiner with a solid grasp
   of regulatory law, NM law, and industry reps. who regularly appear before
   the PRC.
   2. Cynthia Hall, a current PRC commissioner.
   3. Gabriel Aguilera, born raised in NM, with 15 years’ experience at the
   Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in D.C.

You will find the final 15 candidates’ application materials at this link
