ES: ….that are doing it. NP: Well, we really appreciate your effort and support you 100% there. Thank you so much. All right, does anyone else have any more questions out there? ?: Thank you Brian, Troy and Edwin… NP: Yes, thank you so much. OK. We’ll move on then to the next thing on the agenda and Ian Cole are you there? c. Ian Cole, East Hawai’i Wildlife Biologist for DOFAW will discuss and take questions for potential proposed rule changes, and remind hunters to check in and fill out forms at check in stations for DOFAW data. IC: Sorry. I was trying to figure out how to unmute this. NP: Oh, good, thank you, you’re there. Ian Cole, East Hawai’i Wildlife Biologist for DOFAW, um, he’s gonna discuss with us some potential rule changes and he wants to remind all hunters to use the check-in stations and fill out the forms for their data, which is important, so, thank you, Ian, for being here and we got the rules changes ahead of time and did you get some questions from people? IC: I didn’t get any emails but I talked to Stanley on the phone – I talked to some other individuals on the phone – and I got some comments back from Mr. Hoeflinger, but I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of background on this, it’s not something we have to do – it was more – they’re talking about doing a larger rules change for the State and if you guys, if anyone was involved with that first one – eight or nine years ago – it took seven years to do the statewide one – so one of the suggestions was if we – to try to do it on a district level, so these are just a few of a low hanging fruit that I saw that kind of may be working in line with the rest of some of the rules that I – I just picked these out of the hat – just so you guys know – there’s no agenda… NP: So you’re the one who’s requesting these rules changes? 18
