 So that's nice. Alrighty, let us know when we're all set. Yep, and we're good to go. Okay. Good morning and welcome. Today is Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023. And this is a public meeting and hearing of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission because we're holding this meeting on a virtual top one. I'll take a roll call and to all my fellow commissioners. Happy New Year. Good morning, Commissioner O'Brien. Good morning. Happy New Year. I am here. Good morning, Commissioner Hill. Good morning. I'm here. Good morning, Commissioner Skinner. Good morning, I'm here. Good morning, Commissioner Maynard. Good morning and happy new year. Thank you. You know, we were just as we were coming on, I felt commissioners and I had a chance to reflect upon the incident that the bill is experienced. And, you know, we, there's a lot of sad things that have been, but given what we're working on right now, this particularly hits home. And, you know, I think that we all are thinking of that young and talented player, I'll let Demar Hamlin, and wishing him and really wishing his mom. Well, so we'll get started with our business. We have only one item on our agenda for this morning, and that is to offer an opportunity to interested members of the public to provide comment relative to any or all of the applications that have been submitted to the commission for an untethered category three, sports, wagering, operator license. This part of the licensing process is governed by the commission's regulations at 205, CMR 218.05. And I do have these opening remarks to read into the record, so I appreciate your patience. We have six applications that have been submitted for an untethered category three license. They are from Valleys Interactive LLC, that their interactive US LLC doing business as a stand-due, Benner, Holdings, Inc., Brown, MA, Gaming, LLC, doing business as DraftKings, Digital Gaming Corp, USA, and Points Bat Mass chooses LLC. I may know the commission has authority to issue up to seven untethered category three licenses that permit the operation of sports, wagering, through a mobile application and other digital platforms approved by the commission under GL Chapter 23. Beginning Friday, January 6th, and then over the course of the next several days, the commission will evaluate individually each of the applications that have been submitted. To be clear, the commission will not be voting as to whether to award the licenses today, but will do so only at some point after the respective evaluations. In preparation for those upcoming evaluations, the commission is interested in any information or comments that the public may wish to offer relative to any or all of these applications. Affordingly, your presence here today and the written comments that have been submitted will be helpful in making those decisions. We thank the public for being part of this process. Before we begin taking any public comments, I'd like to lay out the process and establish any great ground rules that will be applicable. This meeting is intended to afford an opportunity to offer input and comment on the untethered category through applications to any entity or member of the public who is interested. This meeting was not designed to offer opinions about sports wagering in general, about the way the commission has gone about its work or about an entity that's applied for sports wagering license in the category other than an untethered category. Instead, we are solely interested in learning as much as possible about the applicants presently before us. Momentarily, we'll open up large public comments. We'll keep the meeting open until 1 p.m. today. To make the best use of all of our time, we ask that any member of the public proceed as following. First, I don't think we have any prerequisites, but if you wish to participate, Crystal, how should they meet us? They can email MGC comments at massgaming.gov. Massgaming.gov. Yep. Okay, that's the best way. There's also a phone number on our agenda today. Do we want to save that in case they want to call too? Sure. Thanks. Sorry. Okay, I have a different tab up, so give me one second. Okay. All right, so. Thank you. Anyone looking to comment may also call. That is the meeting ID. Okay. 646741-5293. And the meeting ID is 112-770-0401. And that's also posted on our website, right? Okay. Excellent. And if you do wish to participate, we'll open the floor to comments from any individual calls in. The only thing I ask is that we ask that you state your name and tell us where you are from or who you're affiliated with. Do you want to remind the public that, go right ahead, Commissioner? Madam Chair, I just wanted clarification on the phone number because I have a different phone number than what was just put out into the public. I have it as 646741-5292. On the meeting hearing notice. That's correct. We have a standing number as well. So either number will work. The notice number or our standing number, which I have repeated before, but you can call, yes, 646741-5293 or 646741-5292. I just wanted to be clear. Thank you. No, you're right. That's absolutely correct. We're all right. That's good. So this is just a reminder that this will not be an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions of the applicants if they do appear or are accessible at today's hearing. If you have questions for the applicants, please address them to me and I'll determine how to proceed from there. Any commissioner may ask any question of a comment or at any time. And again, we are grateful for the public's participation and value of your input. For those who have submitted written comments about any of these applications, please note that the commission will review and consider each and every one of them. We thank you for taking the time to send them in. And for those now interested in submitting written comments, we are continuing to accept them on a rolling basis up through our licensing process. And again, the email address is available on our website. So now I turn to my colleagues. Do you have any additional remarks or questions to add in? Okay. And at this time, I think Mills told me we did not have any registrant. I know we received a written comment this morning, which I believe was distributed. Any new member of the public asking to participate, Crystal or Mills or Todd or Noah? No. Okay. So as we've done in the past with our other two public hearings we'll put up a screen. And if you could just stay by your computer to listen in and at any point in time up until 1 p.m., members of the public are invited to participate. Makes sense? All right. Thanks everyone. And thanks, Dave. Hi, Dave. Also. Thank you. So we're just waiting for Commissioner O'Brien somewhat in transit. I'm here. I've got the car park. So I'm not going to turn the video on, but I am here. Okay, great. Thank you. I'll be joining us shortly. Sorry about that. No problem. So Mills and Crystal have we heard from any member of the public that wishes to speak or any additional written comments? Not to the MGC comments email chair. Okay. And nothing to me. Okay. Thank you. So it's after one. I know that we have another meeting at 1.30. So we need to move out of this meeting. Do I have a motion to adjourn? I'll move to adjourn. Second. Thank you. Okay. Commissioner O'Brien. Aye. Commissioner Hill. Aye. Commissioner Skinner. Aye. Commissioner Lainer. Aye. And I vote yes. So five, zero. Thanks everyone. And thank you to the public for the written comments. And we will be convening at 1.30 to start the review of a category three tethered applications.
