the Workgroup to plan development of a new initiative pursuant to the 
Council's Fishery Ecosystem Plan. The Council adopted this initiative, 
the Coordinated Ecosystem Indicator Review Initiative, at its March 
2015 meeting. The Council requested the EWG, in concert with the 
Scientific and Statistical Committee's Ecosystem-Based Fishery 
Management Subcommittee and NMFS's Integrated Ecosystem Assessment 
Team, to evaluate ecosystem indicators presented in the Annual State of 
the California Current Ecosystem Report, identify potential new 
indicators, and coordinate review of indicators by the Pacific 
Council's other advisory bodies. The EWG is expected to report back to 
the Pacific Council with a workload assessment and timeline later this 
year. Related matters stemming from the Pacific Council's assignment 
also may be discussed. Public comment will be taken at the discretion 
of the EWG Chair.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document that require emergency action under 
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.
