<br />- - -"",,,,. <br /> <br />REVISED DRAFT (# I 0) - August I 1.2004 <br />Clean Version <br /> <br />[NEW DRAFT LANGUAGE] <br />Tribal representatives are responsible for keeping the officials of their tribal <br />governments informed regarding the AMP and HPP. For any matter that is on the agenda <br />of an AMG or TWG meeting for which a vote is likely to be taken, tribal representatives <br />should generally be prepared to vote. For any matter that requires a tribal representative <br />to report back to tribal officials before taking a position, the tribal representative is <br />responsible for reporting back to the other parties within an agreed time frame. In any <br />case in which direct consultation between federal agency representatives and tribal <br />officials other than the tribal representative is necessary, the tribal representative will help <br />to make the arrangements for such consultation. <br /> <br />E. Other Stakeholders' Interests and Expectations <br /> <br />[NEW DRAFT LANGUAGE] <br />Stakeholder organizations that are represented on the AMWG and/or TWG have <br />an interest in the AMWG and TWG meetings serving the pUl]Jose of providing <br />recommendations to the Secretary. As such, they have an interest in AMWG and TWG <br />meetings providing adequate opportunities for consultation between federal agencies and <br />tribes so that the need for consultation outside of such meetings is reduced. Whenever <br />consultation between tribes and federal agencies takes place outside of AMWG or TWG <br />meetings, stakeholder groups and governmental agencies that are not directly involved in <br />the consultation have an interest in being informed regarding the topics of consultation, <br />particularly if the consultation considered matters that are scheduled to come before the <br />AMWG or TWO for recommendations to the Secretary. <br /> <br />[NOTE: Part 7 from the previous draft has been cut from the main document and moved <br />to Addendum B, with certain revisions in response to comments.] <br /> <br />PART 4. CONSULTATION PROTOCOLS FOR THE ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br /> <br />Consultation among federal agencies and tribes on matters relating the AMP will <br />be conducted during regularly scheduled AMWG and TWG meetings and in separate <br />meetings between one or more federal agencies and one or more tribes held in <br />conjunction with AMWO and TWG meetings. The agencies and the tribes are committed <br />to working to make such meetings serve the pUl]Joses of consultation. It is recognized, <br />however, that there are likely to be instances in which consultation will need to take place <br />outside of such regularly scheduled meetings, such as when issues arise that have not <br />been anticipated in an annual workplan. A consultation meeting may also be necessary to <br />maintain, or rebuild, the relationship between an agency and a tribe. <br /> <br />16 <br />
