"6. Require training in the cultural aspects of the mountain and how to be respectful to the cultural areas for anyone going on the mountain."
This requirement is going to be interesting. Everyone who works at the observatories already has to go through this process, it's a job requirement. Is it now going to be required of locals, contractors and tourists visiting the summit, including the protestors? I'm not sure the tourist industry will be happy explaining to visitors that they have to sit through a two-hour lecture before they're allowed to visit the summit.
BTW, the lecture/seminar I attended was fascinating. It's definitely something regular summit visitors/workers should go through, but can't see how every summit visitor can be asked to do this.
