Over the last few months, I have been working with Don Peay and Randy Newberg to finalize the details for the upcoming debate. The three of us have spent a significant amount of time and effort working together behind the scenes to agree upon a date, time, location and format for the upcoming debate. Although the parties have not always agreed on every issue, we have worked together in a professional, good faith effort to make this happen. The debate is scheduled for Thursday June 28th at 7:00 p.m., in the large conference room of the Utah Department of Natural Resources (1594 West North Temple, SLC, Utah). Please take note that debate was rescheduled from June 27th to June 28th in order to accommodate Don?s schedule. Please mark this date on your calendars.
During the day on June 28th, Don is going to give Randy, me and a few others a tour of some habitat improvement/restoration projects. We will return to SLC in time for the debate. Don and Randy have agreed upon the general format of the debate and some general topics, which relate to the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. They have also agreed to allow some questions from the audience and are discussing the best way to solicit those questions. They are also close to announcing the name of the moderator for the debate.
There is, however, one issue that may still threaten to derail the debate. As most of you know, Randy has requested copies of SFW?s financial statements so that he can verify and address the effectiveness and efficiency of the SFW?s conservation efforts specifically and the ?Utah model of conservation? generally. There seems to be some reluctance on the part of Don and SFW to release that information. Hopefully, the parties can work through this issue in advance of the debate.
One other point, many of you have asked whether there will be a webcast available. To be honest, I would love to see that happen but I do not have the technical ability to coordinate it. Is there anyone on this forum that might be willing to get involved and help coordinate a webcast of this event? If so, please shoot me an email or private message.
I hope to see you all on June 28th and I am confident that this will be a fun, educational and interesting event. Thank you to all of those who have been involved, especially Don and Randy.
