preferable format seems to be a panel discussion followed by a question & <br /> answer session . Such a format would better inform participants of the current <br /> regulations for "' clear cutting " and lead to another kind of follow- up meeting at a <br /> later date . <br /> The Dispute Settlement Center was suggested for moderating the panel <br /> discussion , specifically, Andy Sachs . Suggested panel members included a <br /> person from the NC Forest Service , Judson Edeburn , Duke Forest Manager, Jake <br /> Wicker, Institute of Government, and someone from the Dogwood Alliance . <br /> Panel speakers would be allotted 10 - minute segments . Some of the <br /> stakeholders that were identified were large landowners , timber industry <br /> representatives , rural / urban neighbors , and advocates of protecting wildlife <br /> habitat, such as Dr . Haven Wiley ( UNC ) or Livy Ludington , co - authors of the <br /> 1997/ 1999 TLC reports that identified prime forestland in Orange County . <br /> Inviting other boards was also suggested . The Durham Open Space and Trails <br /> Commission , which advises on the building of greenways , site plans for <br /> developments and changes with environmental impacts , was considered as being <br /> another interested party . <br /> Marketing issues of mailing lists and how to get the word out were discussed . A <br /> target date of September or October was considered . <br /> The CfE also discussed holding a joint meeting with counterpart advisory boards <br /> from a neighboring jurisdiction . The Durham County Environmental Affairs Board <br /> was suggested as a group to meet with to share concerns and interests in air <br /> quality, transportation and conservation issues . It was suggested that a joint <br /> meeting be scheduled for January 2001 , perhaps with a presentation by each <br /> board about current projects and goals, and how to accomplish common goals . <br /> VIII .
