[Nhcoll-l] Important update on ACE import declaration system

[Peter Rauch]

How will the Ornithological Council know, to say nothing of the larger
"research community" know that its best interests are being adequately
represented (as a "seated" member of the USFWS w.g. of the CCOAC) if the OC
is not privy to the confidential details ?

How exactly will the CCOAC's deliberations be more usefully / deeply
informed by a scientific research community that seemingly can be no better
informed (due to this continuing confidentiality) than before this seating ?

I.e., how --now-- will the research community's opportunity for (timely,
robust, informed) input be more meaningfully enhanced?
