Juneau, AK 99811-5526
Fax: (907) 465-6094
Online: www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=gameboard.proposal
Proposals must be received by May 1, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (A postmark is NOT sufficient for timely receipt). You are encouraged to submit proposals at the earliest possible date.
Please submit proposals online at: www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=gameboard.proposal ; or on Board of Game proposal forms available from the Boards Support Section regional offices and on the website. All proposals must contain an individual’s name or an organizational name if appropriate, contact telephone number, and address. A fax is acceptable and considered an original.
All proposals are reviewed by the board’s proposal review committee prior to publication. The proposal review committee reserves the right to edit proposals containing offensive language. Emotionally charged language will be eliminated as it detracts from the substance of the proposal, may draw opposition not germane to the element(s) of the proposal, and may elicit nonresponsive charges from the public/board members. Proposals published in the proposal book will be referenced with the appropriate Alaska Administrative Code citation and include a brief description of the action requested. Proposals not meeting this call will not be published. Following publication, proposal booklets will be available to advisory committees and the public for review and comment.
You are encouraged to contact the Boards Support Section staff if you have questions or need assistance with completing the proposal form. Providing clarity on the proposal form helps the board, advisory committees, and the public more fully understand the proposed regulatory changes. Proposals that are incomplete or unclear may be omitted from the proposal book. Please submit proposals at the earliest possible date.
Proposals received per the above “Call for Proposals” deadline will be considered by the Board of Game during the 2012-2013 meeting schedule.
