Part I: Nature of the Administrative Setting:Given the variability amongst the case studies, and between various aspects of each case study (policymaking,licensing, dispute resolution) we attempt in this introductory part of the questionnaire simply tokeep track of some general characteristics of each of the decision streams that arise.I.1. Is the decision makerI.1.aI.1.ban individual official, ora multi-member tribunal/agency?I.2. What is the primary nature of the decision-making body for the purposes of the case study?I.2.aI.2.bI.2.cI.2.dpolicy-makingindividualized decision-making (e.g. license, permit, approval)review body overseeing the decisions of other agenciesdispute resolutionI.3. Does the agency exercise decision-making powers derived from or based upon more than onestatute? I.3.a Yes No I.3.b. If yes, how many?I.4. For each of the following “domains of impact”, assess the importance (0-7) each domain tothe tribunal/agency e tribunal or agency in question.circle oneI.4.a. impacts on the natural environment 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I.4.b impacts on human health (mental or physical) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I.4.c impacts on human economic welfare 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I.4.d impacts on human sociocultural values 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I.4.e impacts on human spiritual or religious values 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Part II: Experience with scientific uncertaintyThe PURPOSE of this section is to determine at a GENERAL level:- the ROLE of scientific uncertainty in the decision-making- the degree and specificity of the tribunal’s AWARENESS of this problem- the NATURE of the scientific uncertainty most frequently encountered by the tribunal; and- whether there ARE any MEANS for dealing with it. (If there are, the details will come forwardlater when dealing with the details of the Precautionary Principle and Principle of AdaptiveManagement, and in the Process and Procedure section)The kinds of ANSWERS we are looking for is WHETHER scientific uncertainty is a RECOGNIZEDproblem for this decision maker, WHETHER it has any clear means of dealing with it, and if so, whatare the ELEMENTS of these methods (presumably the more discursive portions of the case studies willevaluate whether these are adequate and how they might be improved, etc.)Appendix ii – Institutional Que stionnaire G - 12
II.1. Does the legislation constituting the tribunal or agency explicitly call for tribunal or agencydecisions to address scientific uncertainty? Yes NoII.2.a Does the legislation contain a definition of scientific uncertainty? YesII.2.b. If yes, please provide the applicable definition.NoII.3. Does the tribunal/agency have an explicit process for dealing with scientific uncertainty?Yes No (details to be assessed in section on “Process and Procedure” below).II.4. If the agency has no explicit process for dealing with scientific uncertainty, do its mode ofoperations or decisions indicate that uncertainty is addressed (check one)II.4.aII.4.bII.4.cII.4.din an ad hoc, case by case fashion,in a systematic, but non-explicit, fashion,not at all,unknown?II.5. Each of the following represents a potential source of information from which tribunals oragencies can acquire information or data on impacts. Score each on a scale from 0-7 onfrequency/likelihood of use. (The term “white” scientific literature means literature published inpeer-reviewed scientific journals; “grey” scientific literature refers to other scientific literature,such as government or consultant reports, that are generally not peer- reviewed):II.5.a unsystematic review of existing “white” scientific literature 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7II.5.b unsystematic review of existing “white” and “grey” scientific 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7literatureII.5.c systematic review of existing “white” scientific literature 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7II.5.d systematic review of existing “white” and “grey” scientific 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7literatureII.5.e solicitation of external expert opinion from other government 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7institutionsII.5.f solicitation of external expert opinion from academia 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7II.5.g solicitation of external expert opinion from industry and/or 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7businessII.6. There are many different sources of scientific uncertainty.
