He is therefore entitled to actual notice of such a proceeding only as provided in sub. (2) (b) or (bm). A person who is not entitled to notice under sub. (2) (b) or (bm) does not have standing to appear and contest a petition or motion for the termination of his parental rights, present evidence relevant to the issue of disposition, or make alternative dispositional recommendations.
