The group, for example, could consider how to reflect State- and county presented information, how to capture conservation outcomes on multiple use lands and oceanareas, and how to protect the privacy of landowners, and sensitive or proprietary information.Bruce, it looks like the federal agency you used to work for (USGS) is going to be the lead on this. I do not view cowboys and Indians as the problem here. Keep an eye on the federal bureaucrats.</blockquote>
