SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SRWCW was formed in November 2015 and 
tasked with exploring and evaluating alternative fishery management 
frameworks for Sacramento River winter Chinook. The SRWCW first met in 
2016 and identified three areas of focus: (1) Develop methods for 
forecasting abundance, (2) develop a suite of alternative control rules 
and (3) evaluate the performance of these control rules with regard to 
conservation benefits and fishery costs using a Management Strategy 
Evaluation (MSE) approach. Since 2016 the group has addressed these 
tasks and provided progress reports to the Council as information was 
available. At this webinar, the SRWCW will focus the discussion on the 
results of the MSE. The SAS will attend to provide input and feedback 
to the SRWCW. The SRWCW is tentatively scheduled to present preliminary 
MSE results to the Pacific Fishery Management Council in September 
2017, and provide final MSE results in November 2017. The SRWCW may 
also discuss materials and reports for the Council's September 2017 
meeting, and any future meeting plans.
    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.
