social desires, and externali5es (pollu5on, for example). <br />
Issue: Lack of planning, transparency, and inclusiveness in the <br />
discussion about use of such resources <br />
Brief descrip5on of issue: Projects are handled on a case by case <br />
basis, without a holis5c approach or transparency, and then <br />
public reac5on is late, fragmented, and o]en fu5le.

regula5on of such resources. <br />
Issue: Lack of planning, transparency, and inclusiveness in the <br />
discussion about use of such resources <br />
Solu5on to the issue: Same as above, with process being open to <br />
broad members of society (mul5ple media, languages, and <br />
5ming), with sufficient 5me for comment, AND a consulta5ve/<br />
media5on process where all members of society (including <br />
industry, for example, but including ci5zen groups and <br />
government) can go to effec5vely address such issues in a 5mely, <br />
fair, and transparent process.
