In this thread we will talk about the following:

* What should be required before a HOT permit is allowed?
* Should the hot owners establish a foundation or agency to assist the government in overseeing permit guidelines
* Should the herp society be allowed total control with only minimal involvement from the government
* Other HOT Permit related arguments.
