His general points were: <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />There is l imited water in Colorado, and increasing population pressures have put us in a <br />tight spot. <br />? <br /> <br />We need a different way of doing business , because past approaches aren’t working. <br />? <br /> <br />The IBCC and Basin Roundtables can help us fulfill our stewardship responsibilities to <br />future generations. <br />? <br /> <br />There is a n eed to have a ll people involved in the process – may take more time but it is <br />the best way to make decisions that stick. <br />? <br /> <br />There is no predetermined outcome – the State will provide resources and help, but the <br />decisions will be made by the roundtables and members of th e IBCC. <br /> <br />Identification of Issues and Interests of Importance to Basin Roundtables <br /> <br />Chris Moore and Diane Tate asked the committee to consider and brainstorm a list of responses <br />to two questions related to the future focus and role of the IBCC.
