The purpose of the Council's Plan Development Teams (PDTs) is to perform analytical and other technical work for the Council; therefore, although meetings are open to the public, they are not public meetings and it may not always be possible to give notice. Generally, however, efforts will be made to let the public know when a PDT meeting is scheduled. When notices and agendas are provided on the NEFMC website, please be aware that the PDT may discuss issues listed on their agendas in any order and may discuss other issues not contained in the notice. Members of the public may attend but should not expect to speak at PDT meetings unless the PDT Chair requests their input. PDTs are responsible to the Council and work as directed by the Council's committees. Because the Council and its Committees not the PDTs set management policy, comments about management options, unless solicited by the PDTs, should be provided to the committees and not to the PDTs.
