Last month, an AABD representative tried to sign in on Zoom, but the sign-in information malfunctioned. The representative then used one of the telephone numbers provided to call in, but the voices were muffled and not intelligible. AABD has requested the OCC to check on the links to assure that they will work properly.

For some background on the OCC action and AABD’s due process concerns, refer to AABD’s Alert dated April 27, 2021. Public filings are available in the OCC’s FOIA Reading Room.
