Who should not be a member of a Community Advisory Group (CAG)?
The media should not be a member of the CAG. They may interview CAG members and attend meetings as observers; however, they should not influence the outcome of the project. In certain cases, elected officials in a community should not be a part of the CAG either. If the project is controversial, and the local elected officials have taken a position, the general public may not feel their opinion counts.
