From nagl0026 at umn.edu Mon Dec 1 22:17:36 2008 From: nagl0026 at umn.edu (Fiona Nagle) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2008 22:17:36 -0800 Subject: [SCB Chapters] Reminder: Conference Call 12/02/2008, 5:00pm PST Message-ID: Dear Chapters, Just a reminder about Tuesday's all-chapters conference call at 5pm California time. The topic is public policy, both for Chapters and for the new Obama Administration. John Fitzgerald is our guest caller and will be leading much of the discussion. Good stuff, don't miss out! I'm also attaching 2 documents for your reference. We are trying to make it easier for chapters (and all SCB subgroups) to navigate the new SCB public policy approval process. We need your feedback! Document 1 (11-08 draft) is updated language -- is it easy to understand and follow? Document 2 (3-08 draft) is what's on the SCB policy webpage now. Do either of these docs work for you, or would you like to see something different? We'll discuss briefly on the call, and also feel free to email comments to me and Erica Fleishman (fleishman at nceas.ucsb.edu).
