[Massplanners] Open Meeting Law & Remote Participation

[Douglas Finn]

Even in pre-covid times, one member of a board or committee could
participate remotely -- under certain, somewhat limiting circumstances.

However, I don't know that remote participation by applicants, or members
of the public was precluded -- provided that the meeting was always open to
in-person attendance and participation.  Perhaps someone else could confirm?

Thanks,

- Doug.
