- SUBJECT: Revised Operating Procedures
- Dear OPAHG members,
- Please find attached a revision to the operating procedures per your recommendations made during our Sept. 17 conference call (minutes attached). We will be using this draft as a starting point during our TWG work session on Oct. 25. Please review this draft and bring comments and suggestions to the TWG meeting. It would be most helpful if you have requested changes that you bring those in a word document in track changes mode added to the CLEAN version provided. You can review either the REDLINE or CLEAN version to see where all the changes are and what the final version looks like. If you have other issues you want to make sure are discussed at the TWG please send those to me and we'll endeavor to address them all. I will be making a short presentation to the full TWG on our progress to date. Chris Harris sends his best wishes and apologies for not being able to participate more fully, his mom is very ill and he has been with her and will not be able to attend the TWG meeting. Our best wishes to you Chris and your mom.
- This version is not final, just another step closer. We still have significant issues to work out such as the leadership structure. One proposal was to have a secretary position in addition to the vice-chair (Reclamation) and TWG Chair. I left this version as having two vice-chairs but refined the duties. I think the terminology is less important now than the description of duties and I think we can arrange these things easily. So, please review and if you have a different approach, lets consider those at the TWG. Again, this is one way of doing things to further discussion. My focus during the revision was the duties and how to better describe what it is we want people to do.
- On tribal specific concerns, a lot was taken out at the request of the ad hoc. I would request that the tribal representatives pay particular attention to that and advise if additional changes/additions are necessary to capture tribal-specific concerns with the TWG.
- Thanks everyone for your participation. Cheers, Shane
