David - thank you for this reply. I, too, believe we are all wanting to do better, improve and never settle for just what is in front of us today. I don’t see that at odds, at all, with what the participants of the Summit have been asked to do. That’s why I am here. Not from a risk management standpoint, but from a continued improvement standpoint.
I fully agree with the many, many improvements we (the forest community, big, small, public, private, conservation, industrial, and so much more) should be - and are - making to improve transparency, supply chain information, protecting forests, research, monitoring…and the list can go on and on.
I’m here to work toward identifying where those improvements need to be made and figuring out - together - how we can do that.
