[Scorecard] [scorecard] agendas for meetings on Oct 3 & 6

[Rainer Hoenicke]

Dear all -

Thanks to Frances for organizing the check-in calls. May I add another 
agenda point? It relates to external review of draft products. It would 
be good to route our compiled draft document to a small group of experts 
that have not been involved in our project and obtain feedback. At a 
minimum, we ought to make sure that our interpretation is correct. For 
example, I'd like to get feedback from both Sonoma and Napa POTWs, water 
departments, and land use agencies to insure that what we wrote is 
correct. There are essentially two levels of review: (a) fact-checking; 
and (b) useability and appropriate "register" for the intended 
audience(s). My suggestion would be to give all the potentially affected 
local agency folks an opportunity to fact-check with a 30-day 
turn-around period. For the second type of review, I recommend that we 
use the state's Watershed Indicators Council, since they have a vested 
interest in learning from us. They have well known experts on their 
teams that include Bob Vos from USC, Rich Adams from Oregon State 
University, and others.

Lastly, who will develop the "Outreach" strategy/workplan? Who will 
prepare appropriate ppts that can then be "canned" and presented by 
appropriate "circuit riders" to the NBWA, the BoD for the Sonoma County 
Water Agency, the Napa WICC Board, etc.? What follow-up commitments do 
we want to obtain from these decision-making bodies, so our initial 
effort can go on into the future?

I intend to use draft reports and any canned outreach material to brief 
the California Watershed Indicators Council with hours I have available 
from a different project, and I expect SEC will do the same to insure 
the measly outreach funds in the Score Card project can get augmented by 
"All Things Water" dollars. And ABAG and SFEI can insure that 
appropriate messages get incorporated into CCA outreach events as well. 
I don't think it's too early to think about that and assign work items 
to the team members.

Best,

Rainer
