This document presents some recommendations for restating the draft goals and outcomes proposed for the new Bay agreement. The intent is to guide drafting efforts toward a formulation of intentions that will support both the need for program accountability and effective adaptive management of program actions. To that end, the recommendations reflect the program’s evident desire to have aspirational goal statements and outcome statements that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timed. Recognizing the extensive efforts that have already been made to craft goal and outcome statements, these recommendations attempt to follow the subject and content formulations of the current draft agreement to the extent practicable.
