Having given this issue a lot of thought I do have a suggestion that potentially would stream line the NOF process and at the same time increase transparency across the board. There is no reason not to take advantage to the technology available today. I would " stream" the co-manager meetings. The co-manager meetings should be limited to just a relatively small handful of policy folks from both sides of the table. Technical staff and other co-managers would be in separate rooms and the public would also be able to watch the meetings live without being in the room.
