Bill
Cooke input to meeting (read to meeting by Diane)
- Recommending
that failure by Ministry to provide information formally requested
(Official Information Act) then we move decisively to enforce
this right we do have (to receive said data). 12 working days
normally allowed from formal request.
- Stan Crothers
has not delivered on his undertaking to draft a press release
explaining that licensing is not the real issue at stake. Email
to Stan. Agreed.
Response
to Minister re Ministerial Advisory Group
- It has been
confirmed that the Minister has written the letter of reply to
us.
- Clear that
the Minister sees value in working with option4.
- Critical
that option4 maintain opportunity to work with this Minister
Focus Groups
Reports
Polling MP's
- Kim and Diane
report back.
- Steven Tee
confirms enthusiasm for helping option4 go forward.
- Thorough
debate of letter. Several good suggestions made and adopted. Certainly,
the feedback from 4/5 people not present at the meeting today
has been of real assistance to Kim and Diane - quite an affirmation
of the growing effectiveness of us working as a team, both online
and in meeting.
- Highlight
the scale of the issue - i.e. emphasis the numbers of people who
participate in gathering seafood from the sea.
Supporters/Data

ask our existing supporters a key question - offer some interaction/input

meeting a key question for the online support team

simple easily understood message
Scott made
a brief overview type presentation of the development of "Empower"
- the new, active, Internet based network building tool under
construction.
As we continue our work towards building a really effective
National Consultative Network the need for clear, easily understood
language is critical e.g.
"Most
people don't want to be involved in Fisheries Management. If
you want to have your say and have your voice heard - simply
push this button"
