The agencies were created under a NAFTA side agreement negotiated to address concerns that increased trade will also mean increased environmental degradation along the border. As conceived, public participa tion will be key to the BECC’s operations, giving rise to a series of public meetings to discuss specific proposals. But Thurs day’s gathering was lacking in concrete plans. Speaker after speaker rushed to a podium to address the 10- member binational panel, most of them concentrating on trying to illustrate particular problems. Some praised the commission for helping to foster increased cooperation between the United States and Mexico. But still others criticized the BECC’s procedural rules, which some have said are muzzling the public comment that was sup posed to be a centerpiece of the agency’s decision-making process. The rules include ptovision that allow commissioners to deny a person or group the right to comment without explaining why. The commission will be able to add or delete agenda items 10 days in advance of a meet ing, while anyone wanting to comment must submit a re quest written in English and Spanish to commission staff 15 days in advance.

Critics say that is contrary to the BECC’s mission of operating with unprecedented openness. Paul Orbuch, a representative for the Western Governor’s Asso ciation, said member governors are concerned the BECC’s rules “do not adequately ensure public participation and transparency and can limit opportunities for state and local input.” “The governors are hopeful that as the BECC begins its work, it will revisit the rules of procedure and make the changes necessary to ensure that secrecy and confidential decision-making do not replace the intended spirit of this insti tution,” he told commissioners.
