Board of game and Advisory meeting announcements

[Vince]

This thread will open and close to inform those that do not frequent the Management threads of the up coming meetings for the board of game and various Advisory committes...

i receive notices for most around interior region now.

to comment on these PLEASE go the the corresponding thread into the Game Management forum. to keep this from being cluttered.


It is important that as many hunters attend as many of these meetings as possible and give comment or testimony. the panel of members that sit on these AC boards are acting on the community behalf but, THEY NEED YOUR in put to do so...

if you sit back and watch it happen you will watch the special interest get one over on you and you will spend the next year posting your disbelief that it happened.

i am NOT full speed on this process yet though i am learning as i go.

any person can submit a proposal to the Board of Game, elections for the AC member seats will be held beginning in December 09 and continue through January or February depending on community.

the public notices can be found on the the F&G web site @

Please be involved

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

REVIEWER LETTER

DEAR REVIEWER:

September, 2009

The Alaska Board of Game will consider the attached book of regulatory proposals at its Fall,

2009 meeting to be held November 13-16, 2009 at the Mini Convention Center, in Nome,

Alaska. The proposals generally concern changes to the regulations governing hunting and the

use of game in the Arctic and Western Regions. Members of the public, organizations, advisory

committees, and department staff submitted these proposals, which are published essentially as

they were received.

The proposals are presented as brief statements summarizing the intended regulatory changes. In

cases where confusion might arise or where the regulation is complex, proposed changes are also

indicated in legal format. In this format, bolded and underlined words are

additions

to the

regulation text, and capitalized words or letters in square brackets [XXXX] are deletions from

the regulation text.

You are encouraged to read all proposals presented in this book. Some regulations may have

statewide application and some regulations may affect other regions of the state. Also, some

proposals recommend changes to multiple areas or regions.

The proposals are set forth in the Table of Contents, which is not in roadmap order for the

meeting. Prior to the meeting, the board will generate and make available to the public the order

of proposals to be deliberated by the board, also known as the “roadmap.” The roadmap may be

changed up to and during the meeting.

Before taking action on these proposed changes to the regulations, the board would like your

written comments and/or oral testimony on any effects the proposed changes would have on your

activities.

After reviewing the proposals, please send written comments to:

ATTN: Board of Game Comments

Alaska Department of Fish and Game

Boards Support Section

P.O. Box 115526

Juneau, AK 99811-5526

Fax: 907-465-6094

Public comment, in combination with Advisory Committee comments and department staff

presentations, provide the Board of Game with useful biological and socioeconomic data to form

decisions. Comments may be submitted at any time until the public testimony period for that

proposal and/or its subject matter is closed at the meeting and the board begins deliberations. As

a practical matter, you are encouraged to mail or fax your written comments to the above Juneau

address no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2009 to ensure inclusion in the board

workbook. All comments received after that time will be presented to board members at the time

i





of the meeting. Written comments will also be accepted during the board meeting and public

testimony during the public testimony portion of the meeting is always appreciated. Written

comments become public documents.

When providing written comments on the proposals in this proposal book, please consider the

following tips to help ensure board members and the public more fully understand

recommendations to the board:

Timely Submission:

Submit written comments by fax or mail at least two weeks prior to the

meeting. Comments received at least two weeks prior to the meeting are printed and cross

referenced with proposals and included in the board members’ workbooks. Written comments

received after the two-week period will be provided to board members at the meeting and will

not be cross referenced. Materials received during the meeting also are not cross referenced. If

you provide written comments during a board meeting, submit 20 copies to Board Support

Section staff, who will distribute your written comments to board members. If including graphs

or charts, please indicate the source.

List the Proposal Number

: Written comments should indicate the proposal number(s) to which

the comments apply. Written comments should specifically state “support” or “opposition” to

the proposal(s). This will help ensure written comments are correctly noted for the board

members. If the comments support a modification in the proposal, please indicate “support as

amended” and provide a preferred amendment in writing.

Do Not Use Separate Pages When Commenting on Separate Proposals:

If making

comments on more than one proposal, please do not use separate pieces of paper. Simply begin

the next set of written comments by listing the next proposal number.

Provide an Explanation

: Please briefly explain why you are in support or opposition of the

proposal. Board actions are based on a complete review of the facts involved in each proposal,

not a mere calculation of comments for or against a proposal. Advisory committees and other

groups also need to explain the rationale behind recommendations. Minority viewpoints from an

advisory committee should be noted in advisory committee minutes along with the majority

recommendation. The board benefits greatly from understanding the pro and cons of each issue.

A brief description consisting of a couple of sentences is sufficient.

Write Clearly:

Comments will be photocopied so please use 8 1/2" x 11" paper and leave

reasonable margins on all sides, allowing for hole punches. Whether typed or handwritten, use

dark ink and write legibly.

Use the Correct Address or Fax Number

: Mail written comments to Board of Game

Comments, ADF&G, P.O. Box 115526, Juneau, AK 99811-5526; fax them to

907-465-6094; or deliver them to a Regional Boards Support Office.

Advisory Committees:

In addition to the above, please make sure the Advisory Committee

meeting minutes reflect why the committee voted as it did. If the vote was split, include the

minority opinion. A brief description consisting of a couple of sentences is sufficient. Detail the

number in attendance (e.g., 12 of 15 members) and indicate represented interests such as

subsistence, guides, trappers, hunters, wildlife viewers, etc.
