Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 14, 2020 ?: Confirmed. NP: And then Traditional and Customary Practices and Coastal Issues is Teresa but, um, we may not have Teresa for very much longer so I was hoping somebody would take her position on that and then we would also get some members in the committee from the public to strengthen that committee. And then we have the Shooting Range Working Group and we’re gonna lose Jim O’Keefe so I was gonna ask you Kean if you would be chair and head it up and so Stanley – you’re in the Shooting Range Committee and Tom Lodge is a non-committee member, ah, and then the Game Management Plan and Public Hunting Land Committee. I think I would like to put the Game Management Plan issue on hold till after the legislative season is what I was thinking – what do guys think Kanalu and... I know you’ve been working on it and as far as our interaction – just thinking because legislation might make a difference maybe – we got some bills, so we’ll kinda shelf that one just a little bit not, not, we’re always gonna be open to information, of course, on it. OK and then the State GMAC Communication Report – that’s George Donev. He’s gonna be tracking the actions of the State Game Management Advisory Commission – so if anybody else wants to join any of these committees or have any comment on them – so that’s that. TN: Nani? NP: Yes? TN: Teresa. Even after my term is up I’d like to be a non-commission member of the Customary Practices. NP: Please do. That would be excellent. Thank you so much Teresa. All right and so, um, I had some forms about navigating through the legislature and I sent ‘em to the Commissioners. I hope you got them and you would read those and so we would be positioned to react to the bills when they come up and to write letters to legislators. I really appreciate the commitment on the commissioners cause things might get really heated up and we’re gonna need all the help we can get and so New Business... ?: Hold on Nani. So which bills you pushing forward? NP: I’m gonna talk about them under Committee Reports. NEW BUSINESS th NP: New Business. I wanted to mention next meeting on the 11 of February we’re gonna be dealing with Ocean, Coastal and River and Stream issues. In our charter we’re about the matters related to the preservation of subsistence hunting and fishing so we’re gonna get an overall report from Jaerick Garcia 36
