BACKGROUND:
Committees
Attached is the updated Council committee list reflecting Council changes in June 2018 and over the summer.
At the June meeting, the Council solicited nominations for a Community Engagement Committee. The Committee's primary function will be to identify and recommend strategies for the Council and Council staff to enact processes that provide effective community engagement with rural and Alaska Native Communities. The Council received many nominations, and the Chair will appoint members at this meeting to achieve a representative group of stakeholders.
Over the summer, Chairman Hull appointed Mr. Dale Schwarzmiller to the Trawl Electronic Monitoring Committee. The Council also solicited for a new member for the Social Science Planning Team, and an appointment will be made at the meeting. The Council has also expressed its intent to appoint a Council member to the Cook Inlet Salmon FMP Committee as chair.
In our newsletter for this meeting, we will also be issuing calls for nomination for the members of the Advisory Panel with terms expiring at the end of the year, and members of the Scientific and Statistical Committee (who serve one-year terms). We will also call for nominations for the Pacific Northwest Crab Industry Advisory Committee (members serve 2-year terms which end in December 2018).
Committee and Plan Team meetings that are currently anticipated between October and December include:
* Joint Protocol Committee, October 17, 2018, Anchorage, AK
* Charter Halibut Management Committee meetings, October 30, 2018 and December 3 or 4, 2018 (tentative)
* Trawl EM Committee meeting, November 19-20, IPHC office, Seattle, WA
