Rapporteuring and scientific editorial services for the 10 th annual meeting of the International Scientific Committee (ISC) for Tuna and Tuna-Like Species in the North Pacific Ocean to be held in Victoria, Canada during 21-26 July 2010. Max Stocker is an accomplished stock assessment scientist, familiar with ISC operations and experienced in the sensitive international fisheries topics to be discussed. He is available to travel from his home in Canada for the ISC meeting during the period we need his services. Our previous rapportuer, Shelley Clarke, has taken another position and is not available to rapporteur for us this year. Stocker recently became available. As far as we know, there is no other person with the needed qualifications: -Stock assessment scientist (highly technical training) -familiar with the sensitive international fisheries issues -familiar with ISC/regional fishery management organizations process -able to write clearly in English -trusted and known personality -available during that time period ISC annual meetings are very sensitive. The person who rapporteurs must be a known entity or the ISC will fail in getting its report done; and then we will not meet NOAA's objective of providing the best scientific advice for conservation and management. Stock assessment scientists are in short supply (NMFS has published a whole report on the dearth in the agency). And those with an international background who are available for this type of job are in even shorter supply. Stocker is very familiar with the sensitive international issues and subject matter having previously been a member of the ISC. He is the market standard for this service. He is also known and trusted by the disparate members of the ISC, which is critical to getting a final report approved by the entire ISC membership.
