A national co-ordinating body, the National Goose Management Review Group (NGMRG) was set up in May 2000 to implement the national policy framework and to advise Scottish Ministers on goose management in Scotland.
As part of this function the NGMRG is required to conduct a multi-disciplinary review of the national policy 
framework every five years, and to report its findings to ministers.
A report of the National Goose Management Review Group was presented to Scottish Ministers in 2005.
The NGMRG is guided in its deliberations by three fundamental objectives which are at the heart of the national policy framework. These core objectives are to:
- Meet the UK's nature conservation obligations for geese, within the context of wider biodiversity objectives
- Minimise economic losses experienced by farmers and crofters as a result of the presence of geese
- Maximise the value for money of public expenditure
In general terms, the national policy framework has delivered what it set out to do, and perhaps more. Its approach to national and local partnership, the integration of the needs of conservation and agriculture, an evidence base of sound science and the growing recognition of the wider public benefits all contribute to the delivery of the objectives and are all direct consequences of the policy framework.
