DRAFTING TEAMS
Drafting Teams/Vectors
- Aquaculture : Drafting team leader: Ted Batterson, Michigan State University
- Maritime Commerce: Drafting team leaders: Allegra Cangelosi, Northeast-Midwest Institute;
Dave Reid, NOAA--GLERL

- Recreational activities (e.g., boating, fishing, and other activities): Drafting team leader: John Schwartz, Michigan Sea Grant
Duties
For each vector, a drafting team will be assembled. Each drafting team will have
a leader or co-leaders, should consist of no more than 5 or 6 members, and
should strive to represent a range of AIS Strategy Team participants (e.g.,
Federal, Tribal, State, NGO representatives on each drafting team). The AIS
Strategy Team Co-Chairs will select the drafting team leader(s). The
final composition of each team will be determined by the co-chairs and the team leader(s).
Each drafting team will write an action plan (not to exceed 5
pages) and append supporting documents. Each drafting team must follow the
outline provided and should include a prioritized list of recommendations.
Drafting team leader(s) are responsible for attaining consensus among the
drafting team members. If consensus cannot be reached, the drafting teams should
ask the AIS Strategy Team co-chairs for guidance.
Drafting team conference calls will occur as determined by the leader(s) of
the drafting teams. The purpose of the calls will be to discuss progress and
specific issues and to attain consensus on the draft action plans for each team.
The U.S. Policy Committee's Great
Lakes Strategy 2000 lists AIS goals that are relevant to the AIS Strategy
Team.
