SPEAKING STRATEGY: PLEASE READ --> We are slaying this beast

[Holy Mackerel]

Guys this is extremely important. The BRTF has not answered many outstanding questions from the RSG, and public who had asked these questions, and made their concerns in previous meetings!! We can't let it slip away.

Here is the gist, feel free to put in your own words: 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 come 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 time to read, and a distrusting public through incidents such as the External C vote.

If you get cutoff because you are repeating what has already been said...
say " it is important enough that you hear it again." Everyone that wants it can speak for their minute.

That's just my take.

We got warned at Santa Ana that they might interject if we all said the same thing.
