States under the International
Convention for the Regulation of
Whaling, 1946. The U.S. Commissioner
has responsibility for the preparation
and negotiation of U.S. positions on
international issues concerning whaling
and for all matters involving the IWC.
The U.S. Commissioner is staffed by the
Department of Commerce and assisted
by the Department of State, the
Department of the Interior, the Marine
Mammal Commission, and by other
agencies.
Once the draft agenda for the annual
IWC meeting is completed, it will be
posted on the IWC Secretariat’s website
at https://www.iwcoffice.org.
NOAA will hold meetings prior to the
annual IWC meeting to discuss the
tentative U.S. positions for the
upcoming IWC meeting. Because the
meeting discusses U.S. positions, the
substance of the meeting must be kept
confidential. Any U.S. citizen with an
identifiable interest in U.S. whale
conservation policy may participate, but
NOAA reserves the authority to inquire
about the interests of any person who
appears at a meeting and to determine
the appropriateness of that person’s
participation.
Persons who represent foreign
interests may not attend. These stringent
measures are necessary to protect the
confidentiality of U.S. negotiating
positions and are a necessary basis for
the relatively open process of preparing
for IWC meetings.
The May 20 meeting will be held in
the NOAA Western Regional Center
Auditorium, 7600 Sand Point Way N.E.,
Seattle, WA 98115. The May 26 meeting
will be held in the NOAA Science
Center Room, 1301 East-West Highway,
Silver Spring, MD 20910. Photo
identification is required to enter the
building.
