IBCC Members commit to attend as many meetings as possible. <br /> <br />Participation by telephone shall not be allowed at regular meetings except in the case of <br />an emergency or approval by the Director of Compact Negotiations. Participation means <br />liste ning only, but not being involved in discussions. However, members attending by <br />telephone can be involved in making decisions.

The <br />consensus process is a solution - oriented, problem solving approach, not a platform for <br />lobbying the public through the media. The deliberat ions of the IBCC should not be used <br />as opportunities for individual members to posture in order to gain the attention of the <br />media. <br /> <br />If the IBCC as a whole decides that there is a need for the Group to communicate <br />formally with the press, IBCC members will designate a spokesperson(s) and/or draft a <br />statement. Stakeholders can refer members of the press to the Colorado Department of <br />Natural Resources for questions about the process. <br /> <br />In communicating with the media and the general public, a clear distinction should be <br />made between preliminary information, concept papers, or proposals under consideration <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
