Executive Summary
On June 17 and 18, 1999, several federal experts in various areas of forest and natural resource analysis were assembled in Atlanta, Georgia to provide input on the structure of an assessment of forest resources in the US South. Through a series of small group discussions, this group generated a set of specific concerns that the assessment could address and then, for each of these concerns, a set of specific questions that the assessment could address. In addition, these experts also generated ideas regarding what data might be available for each of the questions posed.
After the meeting, these questions were sorted and grouped to define a manageable set of preliminary assessment questions (the grouping of questions was approved by the assessment planning team). The Preliminary Assessment Questions will be used as the starting point for a public review of the assessment's structure.
This paper documents the outcomes of this meeting. Enclosed are:
- the final preliminary assessment questions,
- the meeting plan and agenda,
- output from each of the sessions explained in the meeting plan,
- the initial sorting of questions, and
- the pre-meeting information provided to each participant.
