BLUEPRINT FOR THE BLUE LINETHE
COMMON GROUND ALLIANCE
FEBRUARY 2008 APPENDIX COMMON GROUND PROCEDURES AND SCHEDULE 1. The Core Team will assemble an annual draft Blueprint of timely issues. 2. The draft will be distributed throughout the Adirondacks. This process will continue to be an open one in which anyone is welcome to comment. Written comments will be compiled. 3. Verbal input will be received at an annual meeting each July in an outdoor location. (An additional winter meeting may be added). 4. Final input will be compiled and redistributed for endorsement by the Alliance. Any items not endorsed by a cross-section of diverse Adirondack interests will be tabled for future consideration. 5. The final Blueprint will be submitted to State and federal officials for consideration in policy initiatives. 6. All participants will be reminded to leave “Axes, Egos, Agendas, and Logos” at the door. We will empathize with others, strive to get to the heart of matters, think with fresh perspectives, and work toward the common good. 7. Representatives of participating organizations will not use our relationship with the Common Ground Alliance to advance individual/organizational agendas. page 13 |
