Below is a summary of his <br /> comments. He would be glad to review our next process draft. <br /> 1. Once we identify other stakeholders it would be a good idea for members of the Workgroup,or the <br /> facilitator and members, depending on how much money we have, to interview new people before the <br /> first meeting with the new stakeholders for several reasons. New stakeholders: <br /> a. will feel they have input into the design of the process and won't be strangers <br /> b. can provide suggestions of other stakeholders <br /> 2. Since we may be seeking federal legislation, include national environmental groups,which could <br /> throw a monkey wrench into the process, in the negotiations. (Failure to do this set back a Northern <br /> California local collaborative group.) National groups, if they are left out, may feel jealous of success, <br /> or feel threatened of success without them, or believe there can't be national solutions without them. <br /> The Northern California legislation did pass eventually. <br /> 3. A facilitator may cost $30,000 to $100,000 depending on the number of meetings and the amount <br /> of work between meetings. <br /> e-malled on behalf of Janice C. Sheftel by <br /> Suzanne P.
