How were the work group members selected?
Each work group has 16 to 20 self-nominated members, who were selected to represent business/development, citizen/resident, government, and environmental interests. The DNR solicited applications for work group membership in January and February 2010 and publicized the application process through the Request for Comments, through the DNR?s mailing list and the rulemaking website, and in meetings with all government units in the MRCCA. DNR reviewed all applications received, and selected members based on the above criteria.
