  3. Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group (PNWCG) MEMBERSHIP The working team base membership will include seven members, one representative from each agency (FS, BLM, BIA, NPS, FWS, WDNR, and ODF). The grants sub-commitee is a constituent body of the working team. The grants subcommittee consists of four members, with one representative from BLM, FS, WDNR, and ODF. The grants sub-committe members, can be the same members identified on the base working team, or additional members representing each of the four agencies. The working team membership could vary from seven to eleven members (BLM (1-2), FS (1-2), WDNR (1-2), ODF (1-2), BIA (1), NPS (1), and FWS(1)). This would be dependent on the agency’s ability to assign additional personnel to serve on the grants sub-commitee.
