In reading about prior actions between the state and tribes, I keep seeing references to the fishery advisory board, which appears to have been set up as a result of the Boldt Decision. I think I remember some talk about it earlier, but I could not find any references to it via the search option. Does anyone know what happened to the board and why the state could not request it be revisited in regards to the tribes refusal to negotiate? Just because both sides agreed to move away from the board should not, in my opinion, preclude it from being an option of last resort when one side is not negotiating in good faith.

Reading the past decisions, it is striking how much of our present situation was brought up with the opposing sides switched.
