STAKEHOLDER INSIGHT INTO HYDROPOWER R&D ISSUES THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ENGAGE AND FACILITATE DISCUSSIONS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF TRIBES AND STAKEHOLDERS TO ADVANCE TOPICS RELATED TO THE REHABILITATION, RETROFIT AND REMOVAL (THE THREE RS) OF U.S. DAMS. THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL SCOPE INCLUDES CONVENING SEVEN WORKING GROUPS, FACILITATING A PLANNING GROUP AND PLENARY GROUP, CONDUCTING TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT, AND COMMUNICATING UPDATES ABOUT THE UNCOMMON DIALOGUE'S PROCESS. THE WORKING GROUPS WILL ADVANCE DISCUSSIONS AND DEVELOP DOCUMENTS THAT INFORM WPTO’S R&D NEEDS AND CONTRIBUTE TO MEANINGFUL CHANGE FOR HYDROPOWER, RIVER RESTORATION, AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE U.S. THIS PROJECT IS STRUCTURED TO BUILD ON THE EXISTING UNCOMMON DIALOGUE WORKING GROUP PROCESS. WORKING GROUPS ARE A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE UNCOMMON DIALOGUE, AS THESE GROUPS ARE THE SPACES WHERE RELATIONSHIPS ARE FORMED, TRUST IS BUILT, AND IDEAS ARE SHARED, EXAMINED, AND REFINED. MANY OF THE KEY INSIGHTS FOR WPTO WILL ARISE FROM THE FOLLOWING SEVEN WORKING GROUPS. AGENDAS AND MEETING SUMMARIES WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR ALL WORKING GROUP MEETINGS. EACH WORKING GROUP WILL DEVELOP WORK PRODUCTS TAILORED TO THEIR OBJECTIVES AND SUBJECT AREAS.
