e've been keeping in touch with the National Park Service regarding the timetable on the upcoming review of the Colorado River Management Plan and expect a publication from the South Rim in the very near future. They will be identifying the NPS mission and guiding principles pertaining to the process, along with a tentative schedule for the process as a whole. Their hope is to find out from the public the real issues and the best solutions.
Those of you with good memories may recall that GCRG has been planning to put out a major publication on this very issue, similar to the Perspectives piece we did on the Glen Canyon EIS process. We haven't forgotten and we still have all the input you folks sent in. Perspectives II, as we have nicknamed it, is still in the works, of course, and will be exquisitely timed to appear at the most useful and productive moment possible. Theoretically. Financial contributions toward this project, and submissions, are gratefully appreciated.
