Interesting.  What was her stated reason?

Apologies,  meant for @Russ McDonald
I looked around the web and listened to Friday's meeting at each item end.

This is the only time I've heard or seen this, online and didn't catch it in yesterday or Thursday's meetings. Looking for a citation when this happened and some context

First I’ve heard. I am over a month behind listening to meetings.

Split this off from the other discussion. Thought it needed its own thread.

Thanks Rainier10.  The timing just seems odd but definitely possible. They just had elections in December. I do know she planned on and did step down from the big tent chair.

[Russ McDonald]

I looked tobut my source is pretty solid I feel.  He got the alert/message last night.  I talked to him again and he said the commision.  Only from the chair she is still on the commission though.

I remember in the past JD said they attend all meetings.

I believe she only stepped down as chair of the Big Tent Committee.

I double checked with him and but never know.  Information is always open to interpretation.  Here to hoping it is the commision chair.

With the vice vote,  what are you hoping for? And what open to interpretation? Either she did or didn't step down.

I was told it was the chair but there are numerous chairs within the commision.  So yeah someone could say it was the commsion not knowing it might have been the Big Tent.  I am just saying what I was told, and I am not going to argue or explain what I said because I already did that.  Hoping she stepped down from the chair of the commission because I believe that is where the control and power is.  Again I am passing along what I was told.  Anything beyond what I was told I can't help you.

Not trying to argue.  They ousted Molly and baker might be the least scary alternative.  Ragan is now vice,  as JD said, Lorna wants the power.  It's actually quite important to try to communicate amongst groups,  I believe you rep a critter org, so looking more for information than an argument.

I do rep the NWTF, but I am speaking as a hunter.  It's kind of like the moderators here.  They should be able to speak as a hunter and bot have it tied into hey you are a moderator should you be saying that.  I am not saying that I am not working with my HQ on all the bills that are out there and things that the commission does.  Believe me i have HQ burning the oil for the state from the fur sale ban, gun bills,and fund raising for non profits,  We have been in the forfeont along with many others against the Conservation Policy that the commision put out.  It comes down to I am passing along, me being the third party, information.  Someone already stated that it might have been the Big Tent chair.  I don't know.  I was just told it was the commission.  Yup, I agree there isn't much better in choices in the commsion to take the chair.  Hey, if I passed on bad info, then I will own it, but I will surely kick my sources back end LoL. I guess it sounds like she stepped down from something.

I played back the Big Tent committee session...she's just stepping down from that committee lead position.  No indication or suggestion she is stepping down as commission chair.

Sounds like I get to kick my source in the rear end.  Sorry fellas thought I had something good.

This is how I understood it and believe Lehmkuhl is taking that position...

And that is what my buddy heard to on Lehmkuhl, but he thought it was commission and not a committee.  I set him straight .

For a half a second,I thought she was gonna step down cause the conservation policy didn't go through. When I first started to read this topic
Well maybe next time.

[pianoman9701]

According to the WDFW website, she's still the Commission Chair. Wishful thinking doesn't make it true.

[Jake Dogfish]

The chair is elected by a vote of the commissioners.
Unfortunately, replacing Baker with one of the other anti’s would not work out well for us. 

[Twispriver]

As I understand the process all State Boards must elect a chairman and vice chairman at their first regular meeting of the year. It's common for the chairmanship to alternate among members of the board.
