Broad Implementation Guidance Group (BIG)
CAP plans to create a focal point for stakeholders to be involved in implementing the ADD Water Program. This focal point, called the Broad Implementation Guidance Group or BIG Group, will provide a setting for all stakeholders to receive updates on, have input into and participate in decisions about work conducted by smaller groups, CAP staff and others. Consistent with this, the BIG Group is where the ADD Water Program will seek to finalize stakeholder agreements and other points of consensus during implementation. Anyone can participate in the BIG Group.
Generally, the BIG Group will meet once a quarter, tentatively scheduled for August 26, November 17 and February 24, 2011. As necessary to facilitate decision making, the BIG Group might meet out of cycle to address issues needing resolution so Task Teams can continue working.
The ADD Water Support Team will provide all formal communication for BIG Group meetings. Any materials to be used at the meetings will be posted on the website and the Support Team will schedule stakeholder in Outlook and provide a link to those materials in advance of BIG Group meetings.
Anyone can participate in the BIG Group. CAP will notice all stakeholders of BIG Group meetings in advance of the meetings.
