There were many steps involved in the process; this included discussions with communities in the NWT, conducting Crown Consultation with regard to Aboriginal or treaty rights, and providing the opportunity for public comment. Their feedback was incorporated into the plan which was edited and reviewed by all parties who have the authority to manage this species, including Government of the Northwest Territories, Tłı̨chǫ Government, Wek'èezhìı Renewable Resources Board, Sahtú Renewable Resources Board, Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board, Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT), and Government of Canada.
