INSURANCE & LEGAL  On-going discussions with internal and external counsel, as well as relevant industry associations and government representatives to determine the extent and character of liability for Indian tribes and AIAN-owned businesses across all sectors.  Negotiations with insurance providers regarding policy coverage and disbursement procedures to identify areas of disagreement and begin the claims filing process.  Documentation of all necessary actions taken, operating or practical results, government guidance, communications and publicity efforts to create a paper trail in the event of litigation.  Continued review and enhancement of publication and communication of all relevant policies, regulations and declared liability limits to customers, employees, vendors and tribal members. SANITATION, PPE AND OTHER HEALTH PROTECTIONS  Active pursuit of diversified supply lines for all sanitation, PPE and other health protection supplies, including development of tribal production for internal use and external sale where feasible.  Study and monitoring of enhancements to improve the comfort of PPE for employees and customers without losing effectiveness.  Review of changes to date and continued analysis of interior design standards to make distancing and barriers for customers and staff, both front-of-house and back-of-house, more attractive, less intrusive and more convenient/efficient.  Segmentation of customer and work groups into smaller clusters where possible to reduce potential spread, either through space designation, activity/process segregation or scheduling.  Identification of key customer groups for special attention that can be attracted by providing added protection versus the general population.  Active discussion at the association and tribe-to-tribe level of innovations, best practices and supply sources.  Frequent reevaluation of the placement and types of sanitizing equipment to ease and enhance customer and employee usage and decrease the cost and time needed to refill, replace and dispose of spent materials.  Customization of PPE with logos, names and other marketing material for sale or free distribution as appropriate to staff and customers.  Active training of staff on engagement with customers and each other to encourage cooperation in policies and procedures in a non- confrontational manner with clear chains of command for reporting or enlisting aid in situations of non-compliance.
