WDFW Virtual Open House TONIGHT 7pm
« on: May 08, 2019, 09:23:33 PM »
Putting this out there as I was asked to share it. Looks like a great opportunity to get lots of people to comment who wouldn’t normally be able to make meetings due to work or location or whatever.  Read below please.


“Kelly Susewind is having an open online comment period on May 13th at 7 pm..
Go to WDFW website and click on News site and go to posting May 6th.
Title is : Director Susewind invites public to a virtual open house
It will tell you how to access the online site..
I have been told that this is possibly a great way to address the cougar and predator issues.. Kelly actually wants us to address these issues.
We need to get as many folks involved with this as possible as we and the WDFW are being over powered by the AR groups..

Please find the time, this might be our chance to voice our concerns.

Joe”

I would recommend writing out your well thought out questions in advance. I have listened to these online open houses in the past.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Let's look into getting behind the director and support what looks like some potential for change. It sounds like he's open minded.

WDFW director supports federal delisting of wolves in letter

The head of Washington’s wildlife agency supported the federal delisting of wolves in an April letter.

Kelly Susewind, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife director, submitted a letter commenting on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services proposed rule to remove gray wolves from the endangered species list.

The letter, written April 18, was first reported by the Capital Press.

“The Department finds the USFWS proposal to remove gray wolves from the federal List of endangered and Threatened Wildlife and return management authority in the western two-thirds of Washington to the Department appropriate and timely,” Susewind wrote.

The ESA, he said, is intended for species on the verge of extinction. Wolves in Washington do not need that protection.

“The state of Washington is well prepared to be the management authority for wolves statewide and would be pleased to see limited federal resources directed to other species still critically in need,” he wrote.

I myself am glad he came out and wrote the letter. I wonder what the WAG is thinking.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

anyone participating in this? I'll be at work (swing shift) but hopefully we have some advocates in his corner, like many of you I'm liking what appears to be the start of a *hopefully better* era of WDFW
(also a friendly bump/reminder that it is tonight, 7pm)

Sounds more like a content delivery vehicle than an interaction vehicle.

https://www.invintus.com/streaming-platform

I couldn't find anything about submitting comments through their streaming application, so I would be prepared with written comments to paste into a box or be able to read your comments via an audio device (e.g., phone, compute microphone, etc.).


The OP text makes it sound like you will have online comments, such as a comment or chat feature common in video conferencing.


This makes it more nebulous, as to whether you are able to submit text or submit the question audibly.

The online webinar starts at 7 p.m. The public can go to https://player.invintus.com/?clientID=2836755451&eventID=2019051001 during the event to watch and submit questions.

https://wdfw.wa.gov/news/wdfw-director-susewind-invites-public-virtual-open-house


So again, type it up, be prepared to read it.

I have done this before. you need to have your comments ready before hand, IMO you can submitt them but they are reviewed and selected, it isnt  just answering random questions that pop up on your screen like IM a bunch of friends at the same time.
