I haven't read all of Jim Day's post but one thing caught my eye.
and it's a common ground for agreement.
Please sign up for
BOTH the agenda item H and the general speaking at 11:30AM.
That means you will fill out TWO cards.
Hey, you are already there anyway, what's the problem?
That way, each of us takes two bites of the apple.
Lots to talk about--trust me.
Breaking news:
At the end of every speech, whether during agenda item H or general item,
EVERYONE please address the point that there is, in addition to a science data gap, a socio-economic data gap, a financial gap, there is now a credibility gap. The science data gap and the socio-economic data gap comes from the inadequate Ecotrust data. The finance gap comes from the fact that the state is flat broke, and we see the cost creeping up at every turn --and no way to pay for closures and DFG is broke. The credibility gap comes from the constantly shifting rules, the demoralized RSGs and incidents like not providing science data material to the RSG until the night before and expecting them to act on it the next day on voluminous data they don't have to read.
This process needs to be paused for these gaps to be fixed.
This point needs to be repeated 100 times. Trust me, it's a critical push we are giving on the point. Take ten seconds everyone and say this. 100 times. 200 times.
