Progress on Coordinating CBP and Federal Leadership Goals,
Outcomes, and Actions
Principals’ Staff Committee Meeting2/16/12
Carin Bisland, Associate DirectorEcosystem Management
Why Coordinate?• EC Request at June 2010 meeting:
– Form a Bay Program Action Team to work with the FLC to more clearly define the role of the Bay Program in implementing the Executive Order Strategy. As a result of our discussions at the April PSC meeting, the final Strategy includes language that articulates the need for a joint group to “recommend steps for coordinating and, where appropriate, integrating the goals, outcomes and actions of the Chesapeake Bay Program with the goals, outcomes and actions described in this strategy.”
• Efficiency (same people, similar goals, similar efforts)
• Communication (who is the CBP and what are our goals?)
PSC Decision at May 2011 Meeting
• The PSC approved the Alignment Team proposal with several edits and recommended that the revised proposal be presented to the Executive Council and Federal Leadership Committee. The PSC requested the following changes: – Extend the time for developing negotiation protocols called for in
Stage 2 to after completion of Phase II WIPs. – Clarify that Stages 3 and 4 (developing and implementing a new
Chesapeake Bay Agreement) would only be completed if determined necessary through the analysis completed in Stage 2.
– Extending the date of Stage 3 to the time of the 2013 EC meeting.

Purpose – Update/refresh C2K and streamline commitments;
ensure a set of shared priorities; clarify governance;
design efficient operational structure for collaboration; and,
enable effective communication of Partnership’s
refreshed goals, outcomes and accomplishments.
A four-stage path forward over the next two years:• Stage 1: Using Goal Implementation Teams (GITs)
for Aligning Interests, Priorities, and Efforts• Stage 2: Review Existing CBP Commitments, Develop Negotiation
Protocols to Determine Future Direction of
Partnership
*If determined in Stage 2 that a new agreement is necessary: • Stage 3: Negotiate the New Agreement• Stage 4: Implement the New Agreement
Aligning CBP and Federal Partners
Stage
1:
Using
GITs to
Set
Direction
• Priorities and areas of focus for each major goal area are refined by relevant GITs, guided by key strategies or agreements (e.g. C2K, EC Directives, EO Strategy)
• Priorities of the partnership will be described in narrative rather than as quantitative measures except where there is explicit EC commitment to a quantitative measure
• Decision-Making Framework presented by ChesapeakeStat would guide the setting of priorities and actions
• Management Board would provide oversight and guidance to GITs and identify opportunities for strategic coordination

Communications Workgroup
• ChesapeakeStat should be phased in as the Decision Support Framework to describe work across all CBP Goal Implementation Teams and to be used as a tool for adaptive management.
• Phasing in the use of the decision support framework will begin with interested GITs (Habitat - SAV, WQ – Agriculture, Watersheds) and will use that process to form the basis for content in ChesapeakeStat.
• The PSC also requested CBP staff identify case studies that may be used in a demonstration at the July 2011 EC meeting.
