concerns under “New Business” today. 

11/15/10: Kurt expressed his concerns (see 

minutes). Glen will follow up and report back to the 

TWG. 

1/20/11: Glen said the Plan is still in review within 

DOI. There is a competing effort by Pres. Obama to 

have agencies develop agency-wide tribal 

consultation plans. The DOI is sorting out where this 

fits with the AMP plan. 

3/8/11: Glen said this action item refers to the 

AMP’s Tribal Consultation Plan and one developed 

by DOI. DOI is seeking resolution of whether or not 

the AMP’s plan fits within the DOI tribal consultation 

plan .On Jan. 14, 2011, the DOI plan was sent to 

the tribes for a 60-day review.

public review. Once that plan has been completed, 

the AMP Tribal Consultation Plan will be modified to 

be in conformance with it. 

10/20/11. Glen said the comment period closed the 

end of June. DOI is revising that plan in response to 

comments received. Once the DOI Consultation 

Plan is revised, the AMP consultation plan will be 

revised. 

2/2/2012: Shane will discuss the TWG’s concerns 

with Lori Caramanian and also ask whether this 

should be addressed at the DOI/AMP tribal preAMWG meeting (Refer to minutes for more 

information.) 

4/16/12: Glen read a motion passed by the AMWG 

at its Feb. 2012 meeting: “AMWG requests the 

CRAHG compare the existing draft tribal 

consultation documents with Secretarial Order 3317 

and the DOI tribal consultation policy, and make a 

recommendation through the TWG to the AMWG by 

its August meeting for an AMP tribal consultation 

policy.” Kurt said the CRAHG will include with 

ongoing assignments. This action item was closed 

as a result of the CRAHG taking on the new task.

3/8/11: The CMAHG will rewrite Appendix B 

(integrating Science Advisor comments and include 

criteria) and bring a revised version back to the 

TWG at its June meeting. 

6/28/11: Shane said draft criteria were developed 

and a review of Appendix B needs to be done 

before approval of the plan. He has been waiting for 

the new GCMRC chief to come on board so the 

TWG and GCMRC can work together. He believes 

the plan will be ready for final review in September.

10/20/11: Shane said he would work with Jack 

behind the scenes to streamline reporting on 

projects, preparing documents, and developing the 

workplan, and then report to TWG.

CMAHG and GCMRC discussion about future 

directions. He will talk with Jack Schmidt about the 

Core Monitoring Plan and making arrangements for 

what needs to happen next. 

4/16/12: Shane said there needs to be a meeting 

between Lori Caramanian, Jack Schmidt, Dave 

Garrett, himself and possibly others to discuss 

potential progress.

10/20/11: The CRAHG will work on answering the 

following questions and provide an update to the 

TWG at its February 2, 2012, meeting: 

 How should the program fairly treat conflicts 

of cultural values, specifically those 

involving Native American perspectives? 

 How will tribal values be monitored and 

tracked in this program 

 How should TEK be integrated into the 

GCDAMP science program? 

Shane will contact Kurt to see what his schedule is 

like for holding CRAHG meetings and will work 

together on how to address the direction given from 

the AMWG to the CRAHG. 

2/2/12: Kurt said the CRAHG met on 1/23/12.He 

provided a progress report and is still waiting to hear 

back from CRAHG members on recommendations 

they developed at that meeting. (Refer to minutes.) 

4/16/12: The CRAHG prepared a draft response 

and provided that to Shane but it wasn’t posted 

before the meeting. Shane suggested the issue be 

put on the June agenda and consider formulating a 

recommendation to AMWG, but in responding to the 

list of issues described by the CRAHG, it had a 

huge impact on him in trying to craft on how the 

TWG develops a budget recommendation at today’s 

meeting.
