I want to make sure I understand how the mikes are managed. Instead of turning on your mike, you turned it off, and then, you turned it on again. That means two mikes were on at the same time. You were talking to the clerk, and the interpreters must have heard what you said, brief as it may have been.
Is someone in charge of turning the mikes on and off, or is that our responsibility? Normally, a person's mike should be off once they've finished speaking, so that two people don't talk at the same time.
