August 20 MeetingSphere Brainstorm 2
Use What We Have First 3
In the S-TEK Subcommittee we have the opportunity for discussing small scale transboundary issues but organizationally how do we do this
We need to consider our organizational structure, and strengthen what we have; only adding new subcommittees when we are sure one is needed.
[Identifying and prioritizing science needs] is a significant activity of the STEK, and while the involvement of other organizations could be enhanced, I don’t think we need a new internal subcommittee to engage the question [of how]
North Pacific LCC Steering Committee Meeting September 10-12, 2013
Partnership Development Brainstorm: Summary of MeetingSphere Discussion Can the current organizational structure of the NPLCC meet these needs? Steering Committee •
Identify opportunities to leverage and/or support partner plans
•
•
•
Tribal/First Nations Committee Identify ways to engage smaller tribal organizations Work with tribal heritage organizations in US and Canada Coordinate a Tribal/First Nations forum on climate change
S-TEK Subcommittee • •
•
Link science needs with resource management issues Strategically broaden engagement to add NGOs and climate science producers Host pre-workshop prior to an RFP release so potential applicants have opportunity to see who may be interested in similar proposals and possibly collaborate/not be duplicative
Unmet by Current Organizational Structure
COR Subcommittee •

Market finished products via website to organizations who could make use of the information/tool Increase sharing of information about products/actions of agencies/tribes/organizations in the NPLCC on the website Engage more with mass and social media efforts Develop briefing information for local and regional politicians on the NPLCC Develop list of outcomes and achievements to demonstrate the value of the LCC with partners

Identify and create an inventory of common, large scale planning process that partners implement Identify what regional or topic-related initiatives are working on similar issues Invite NGOs to share climate change interests/objectives to allow leveraging of resources Facilitate regular communication among inter-state agencies Connect with natural resource-dependant business community to talk about climate change effects on selected economies
Who? And What Should We Know About Them 4
Who needs to be at the table, or involved, in order for you to be successful?
What regional or topic-related conservation initiatives are working on similar issues?
Compile a list of large scale processes and then develop a strategy for each relative to the NPLCC.
I’d like to have a better understanding about what groups are out there that we may want to engage. What would be beneficial for them and for the NPLCC [by doing so]?

Some [partners] we might list; but, need to take no action. Another (Cascadia Forum) might be supported via grant only. Another (Joint Ventures) might need LCC research or GIS mapping priorities to better align with their needs, etc.
Different groups may call for different strategies. Can some of these groups be combined based in common needs, and then develop strategies for these grouping of entities
Important to pay attention to what we are trying to accomplish and design the involvement/solicitation of other groups accordingly. Engaging other groups to identify related initiatives will not look the same as engaging other groups to promote outreach about climate change, etc.
