1. The Collaborative Delphi Helen Ivy Rowe

2. Purpose To better represent the views of the SRR we used the Delphi process to identify five key points that can be used in outreach efforts.

3. Outreach efforts 2003 SRR Report Release week in May, during which time we will meet with Congressional staffers, executive directors of NGOs, and higher level staff of Federal agencies. Poster sessions for some producer meetings, as well as ESA

4. Process Delphi 17 (22 responses) General brainstorm of up to five key messages Collated these as best as I could Delphi 18 (26 responses) vote on top 5 categories Comments Each respondents key messages were split into appropriate categories. No longer read as a set. Categorization led to double voting in Delphi 17 (sometimes multiple responses of single respondent fell into one category) Will need to work on phrasing for outreach
