Facilitators

Facilitators from CDR Associates, in consultation with IBCC members and staff of the
Colorado Department of Natural Resources, will design meeting agendas.

CDR will facilitate all IBCC meet ings during the process of developing the IBCC by -
laws and charter. The facilitators will remain impartial toward the substance of the issues
under discussion. The facilitators are responsible to the whole group and not to any one
member or interest group . The facilitators will enforce ground rules that are accepted by
the group.

Section III
Representation of Basin Roundtable Views
and Those of Other Governmental Officials

Informed constituencies will enhance the prospects for approval of the recomme ndations
of the IBCC. The members of the IBCC who represent roundtables will inform them and
solicit their opinions about the issues under discussion. They will represent the interests
of their group and bring their concerns and ideas to the deliberations.

The goal of the IBCC is to have frank and open discussions of the issues in question and
options to address these issues. Therefore, ideas raised in the process of the dialogue,
prior to agreement by the whole group, are for discussion purposes only and should not
be construed to reflect the final position of a IBCC Member or his or her Basin
Roundtable.

Prior to any decision being made by the IBCC, members will have adequate time to
consult with their Basin Roundtables or other relevant constituencies to explain
deliberations and gain their input.

Section IV
Observers

IBCC meetings will be open to the public. However, in order for the IBCC to achieve its
mission, discussion and deliberation at work sessions must be focused and manageable.
