From the transcript
But I think you, I don't think I would put someone that's actively involved in the commercial fishing industry on the board. Now if you're retired, if you're no longer working in that industry, I think that they bring a lot of expertise, but again, when I have conversations with that individual, it's going to be, can you put Alaska first, and can you be fair and open-minded about all users of that resource? That's going to be the key. Thank you. The same question, and I'll read it again, goes to Bernadette Wilson.
