and Gas Exploration and Development 

Project ROD and the PAWG (developing 

monitoring plan(s) for the wildlife 

resources in the Anticline gas field, 

identifying who will do the monitoring, 

and identifying who will pay for the 

monitoring); developing a strategy to 

accomplish those tasks for 

recommendation to the PAWG by 

February, 2005; and selecting Task 

Group leadership and a proceedings 

recorder. Subsequent meeting agendas 

will include developing the monitoring 

plan(s) and identifying who will do the 

monitoring and how those costs will be 

paid. Public comments will be heard
