Governance Committee Spotlight

The Governance Committee (GC) conducted a series of mock negotiation workshops in the fall of 2020 to develop a Second Increment policy frame. The Policy Frame is intended to help structure Program learning during the First Increment Extension (“Extension”) and to identify critical information needs for the development of a Second Increment later in the Extension. The GC conducted this exercise with the understanding that they cannot be held to workshop outcomes, but these outcomes are a useful way to identify information needed to inform actual negotiations. This document presents the architecture of a Second Increment Policy Frame and associated key policy and science questions. The Policy Frame is presented as a living document and is subject to updating and revision based on GC direction and Program learning throughout the remainder of the Extension (2020-2032).
