Standard Procedures and Consistency Working Groups Full Board Meeting December,

WG Chairs: The first few slides are intro. Feedback on these is welcome – in the meantime I may continue to fiddle with them. Skip to slide 6 to start filling in your WG- specific content. If you have ideas for improving the basic outline, let me know sooner than later so we can modify it before other chairs finish their slides. Please return your presentation to me by Nov. 29 th so I can glue them together and we can print them out. 2

Working Groups Section 106 of the MVRMA allows the Board to “…issue directions on general policy matters or on matters concerning the use of land or waters or the deposit of waste that, in the Board’s opinion, require consistent applications throughout the Mackenzie Valley.” Six Working Groups established in 2008 Board approved Terms of Reference 3

A few ideas as you build your slides.. If the updates are to be 1-2 hours total, then each group would get minutes. I think we can take a bit longer if need be. If you have pics or graphics to put in, all the better. WGs 2 and3 are seeking Board approval of final documents. These documents will be presented after the updates. We have the full day and maybe could even spill over into the next day (?) so those groups should have a couple hours each at least. Not sure if the other “FYI documents” (PE policy, PE guidelines, public hearing rules, etc.) should be presented during your update below or in a separate session. If you do want a separate session for those documents, let me know so i can advise Zabey on the agenda. 6
