<br />~\jCj\. <br /> <br />May 2003 <br /> <br />facilitating constructive dialogue about value differences; <br />distinguishing between disagreements caused by differences about facts and those caused <br />by differences about values; <br />exposing uncertainty and the role of risk tolerance in making decisions and trade-offs; <br />focusing on the evaluation of management options, which some TWG members identified as <br />the next step in the strategic planning process; <br />facilitating constructive dialogue between stakeholders and scientists, with emphasis on <br />the role of scientists in answering managers' questions about specific management options <br />rather than in simply delivering technical presentations on their areas of expertise. <br /> <br />Important refinements identified included improved impact estimates (e.g., power), and a <br />more detailed treatment of uncertainty (e.g., humpback chub), <br /> <br />Determination of next steps depends on a review by TWG and AMWG members, Some possible <br />next steps that were suggested by workshop participants included: <br /> <br />1, Options and Attributes Workshop. One day working session (project team and GCMRC staff <br />and/or small subgroup of TWG) to refine management options and attributes, The key is to <br />develop a strategic set of options that expose major differences in approaches to <br />management (e,g" flow options, TCD option, SED options, and techno-fix options) rather <br />than a long list of every possible combination of management options. <br /> <br />2. Impact Estimation. Refined estimation of the impacts of the options on the attributes by <br />the contractors, This will involve more accurate modeling or elicitation of expert <br />judgments on attributes for which there is greater uncertainty or controversy, The <br />uncertainty associated with each option must be better characterized. This will involve <br />both a narrative and graphic summary of the range of possible outcomes (for holistic/direct <br />ranking) and development of a summary statistic(s) to facilitate a weighting approach that <br />accounts for uncertainty. <br /> <br />3. Multi-attribute Trade-off Analysis Workshop. 2-3 day workshop to conduct a full-scale <br />multi-attribute evaluation of options with TWG and/or AMWG members. <br /> <br />GCDAMP MATA Pilot: <br />May 2003 Workshop Report <br /> <br />9 <br />
