One other factoid regarding advisory group operations. Last I was aware of advisors are provided a handbook giving them directions on their participation . The current (but undated) one is at least the third iteration.

What are missing (to the best of my knowledge and WDFW response to my inquiry) are a formal Commission policy on how the Department is to implement the concept of Advisory Groups and written guidance from the Department to each assigned Staff responsible for a Group.

If that is no longer current info please let me know.
