# 6106.611 6106.611   Hearing: in person, virtual, hybrid, and/or on the written record [Rule 611].

Parties may conclude an arbitration by presenting their positions in a hearing. A hearing may be:

(a) In person;

(b) Virtual;

(c) Hybrid (in person and virtual);

(d) If agreed by all parties, on the written record; or

(e) A combination of a hearing on the written record and another hearing type. The panel will begin a hearing within 60 calendar days after the initial conference under Rule 607 unless the Board Chair approves a later date. Unless agreed by the parties and the panel, all panel members will attend an in-person, virtual, or hybrid hearing sited in Washington, DC. A single panel member may conduct an in-person or hybrid hearing sited outside Washington, DC. Hearing procedures are at the panel's discretion with the goal of promptly, justly, and finally resolving the dispute, and need not involve traditional witness examination or cross-examination. Parties should not offer fact witnesses to read legal materials or to make legal arguments. Statements of fact in a hearing need not be sworn but are made subject to penalty for violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001. Hearings are confidential and not public and may not be recorded by any means without the Board's permission. The Board may have a hearing transcribed for the panel's use. If a transcript is made, a party may purchase a copy from the court reporter or transcription service and has 7 calendar days after a copy is available to file proposed corrections.
