Oh, by the way, this is from the Commission signed 2015-2016 NOF Policy:


Communications
• The Department shall strive to make ongoing improvements for effective public involvement during the North of Falcon planning process and annual salmon fishery implementation, incorporating the following intents:
o North of Falcon participants will be included as observers during appropriate state/tribal discussions of fishery issues. (AGAIN, UNLESS THE TRIBES SAY NO, APPARENTLY)
o All decisions made during the North of Falcon process will be recorded in writing.
o A variety of tools will be used to effectively communicate with the public, to receive input on pre-season planning or in-season fishery issues, and to make available the record of
decisions. Such tools will include: recreational and commercial advisory groups; public workshops to address key issues; the WDFW North of Falcon Web site; and in-season tele-conferences.
o The Department will increase transparency by consulting with stakeholders throughout the pre-season planning process and prior to making major decisions with the co-managers.

LIP SERVICE BOYS, LIP SERVICE TO TRANSPARENCY, JUST BS
