 RESPONSE FROM THE BUREAU OF ALTERNATES
- Complete minutes from March 6, 2008 meeting of the BOA
- Response to Session on Conversations with BOA:
- Relevance of NAFC to Its Audience: The BOA will analyze the relevancy of NAFC to its audience; however, the discussion on how to proceed will continue until the next meeting of the BOA and is open to suggestions.
- Thematic Groups, Next Steps: Groups should provide information to BOA that includes concrete action plans, specific requests for tasks or funds (not including travel or meeting planning), and contact information for the groups’ lead. Leads or an alternate should attend the Commission meeting in June in order present on behalf of the group and to continue the dialogue about their groups with the Commissioners. BOA felt an Integrated Working group meeting should be held again, at least every 5 years.
- Elevating NAFC Profile: BOA will:
- Promote NAFC inside country’s forestry organization.
- Develop a suite of outreach materials (brochure) for NAFC.
- Highlight NAFC Awards.
- Send out press releases.
- Raise NAFC profile at International Events.
- Bilingual NAFC: Each Working Group would be responsible for translation of the content of its own site as well as offer the executive summaries of reports in Spanish and English. Mexico offered help on translation of the general website pages.
- Knowledge Management: BOA believes that knowledge management is key to NAFC’s success, but would like to know more about the mechanisms (techniques and/or tools) for managing the information.
