A more expedient way would be to first write what we need to with the ISKCON

picture in mind, get it approved by ISKCON and then adjust it for other

situations. With ISKCON approval for the first plan there is some validity

since they have a large land holding and many cows protected

internationally. The standards were done in this manner. Basically one

could take off the Management Section and the rest of it could be applicable

to most other situations that were interested in protecting cows.
