To: Bill Whitacre[bwhitacre@westgov.org] From: Cameron, Scott Sent: 2017-04-04T17:35:28-04:00 Importance: Normal Subject: Fwd: Draft project plan in anticipation of a WGA/NISC invasive mussel meeting at the summer meeting Received: 2017-04-04T17:36:05-04:00 Bill, Did you get this earlier today? My email is acting up. Thanks, Scott Scott J. Cameron Special Assistant Office of the Secretary of the Interior Desk 202 208 0969 Cell 202 706 9031 --------- Forwarded message --------From: Cameron, Scott <scott cameron@ios.doi.gov> Date: Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 1:00 PM Subject: Re: Draft project plan in anticipation of a WGA/NISC invasive mussel meeting at the summer meeting To: Bill Whitacre <bwhitacre@westgov.org> Bill, A rough estimate of the number of people coming exclusively to the NISC meeting (not counting those already there for the WGA meeting) would be 25 people. The NISC meeting would probably last 6 hours, of which I'd predict 1-2 would be with the governors on invasive mussels. As to the timing, we'd schedule the NISC meeting for the same day the governors want to talk to the Secretary about invasive mussels. The NISC meeting wouldn't normally be closed to the public, although they have typically not been publicized widely in the past. We could follow your lead on this, especially for the 1-2 hours where governors might be personally involved. Of course, WGA and governors' staff would be welcome to sit in on the entire 6 hours or so NISC meeting, if they wanted to. We would organize the NISC event, but would appreciate the advice and guidance from WGA staff organizing your event in terms of logistically who we should coordinate with at the venue.

As I understand it, you are considering holding a NISC meeting in Whitefish in conjunction with WGA's annual meeting. Our meeting planners would like some more information about what that would entail: How many people would attend? How long would the meeting last? Would you like to do it before, after, or concurrent to WGA's meeting? Would the meeting be private, or would it have to be publicized/live-streamed? Would NISC staff organize the event, or should WGA's team plan on organizing it? We are still planning on pitching the idea to our Staff Advisory Council later this week, but having this information would be helpful to that process.

Feel free to edit and offer different ideas. By the way, I spoke to Ryan McGiness in Governor Sandoval's office today. Ryan likes the idea that Governor Otter proposed for a meeting in Whitefish. I am also enclosing FYI the now somewhat dated issue paper on this topic that I developed for internal DOI purposes. Thanks, Scott Scott J.
