Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council 2013
The Department of the Interior, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Council, administers the Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Program, Catalog of Federal and Domestic Assistance Number 1 5. 64 3. For many years representatives of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the Alaska Native Community worked together to amend the 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada, and the 1936 Migratory Bird Treaty with Mexico, to allow legal spring subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska.
The U. S. Senate ratified the Protocols to the two bilateral migratory bird treaties on October 23, 1997, paving the way for a regulatory process to ensure proper implementation of these amendments.
The Protocol with Canada mandates that subsistence users will have an effective and meaningful role in the development of regulations through regional management bodies.
The Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Council was established in March 2000, with representatives of the Alaska Native Community, Federal Government, and State of Alaska as equals to develop recommendations for, among other things, seasons and bag limits, law enforcement policies, population and harvest monitoring, education programs, research and use of traditional knowledge, and habitat protection.
Coordination with Alaska Native regional partner organizations was established to organize subsistence user participation within each region.
50 CFR 9 2. 11a, states that, we are working with the Alaska Native nonprofit groups and local governments.
Under 50 CFR 9 2. 4, Partner 50 CFR 9 2. 11b, it states that the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will establish partner agreements with at least one partner organization in each of the listed regions.
Organizations or Regional Partners are defined as a regional or local organization or a local tribal government that has entered into a formal agreement with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the purpose of coordinating the regional programs necessary to involve subsistence users in the regulatory process.
Region specific, formal working agreements have been established with ten Alaska Native nonprofit groups and one local government to accomplish the mission of the Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Protocols.
These specific regional organizations were designated as partner organizations following an extensive public involvement process.
A list of partner organizations was published in the Federal Register, 65 FR 16405, March 28, 2000, and amended in 71 FR 35690, June 21, 200 6. This Request for Proposals is required to renew grant agreements that are directed specifically to those regional partners who have already entered into a prerequisite formal agreement with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

These grant agreements are not open to competition outside of existing Alaska Native regional partner organizations serving on the Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Council.
Proposals are to be submitted to the Office of Alaska Migratory Bird CoManagement Council or directly through www.grants.gov.
by December 17, 2012, 5. 00 PM Alaska time.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
