I don't know how you should go about appointing the director. I don't think elections would be a good idea because I don't give the people enough credibility to be knowledgable of the issues. When I-697 failed I lost all faith in the people when it comes to fish releated issues.

The commericals would lobby money together to get a commisioner that would create more jobs by increasing commerical fishing and the people would just buy it up.
