Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – May 23, 2016 JD: To the selected, vetted out people, yeah. They will and it may end up being online – that’s something that we need to talk to Jim about but, ah, yeah, we’re going – once the Governor agrees on whatever the criteria is, ah, then, ah, there’ll probably be a news release and it’ll probably be put out the – the applications be put out. TL: Well, as we discussed earlier or I asked you earlier – would you like us to create an application for you? JD: I think that’d be good, yeah, get that up and then I’ll forward it or get it to Jim so that they can push that up the chain. TL: That way it helps to minimize some of the potential… JD: Yeah, yeah, cause the majority of this came from the GMAC to begin with so you guys know what the criteria should be. TL: Right. OK. Anyone else? We’re good? OK, um, all right – do you have anything else for us? ?: Oh… TL: Wait, before you go, um, our legislative update 799 – the aerial eradication bill. Have you folks had any discussion at all about – and it’s not why you’re here but, um, have you folks had any discussions at all on what that’s libel to – I understand it doesn’t start until July 1, but… JD: Yeah… TL: Um, how that is gonna work and to what impact will the commission have in any of your discussions that you’ve had on that? JD: Um, no idea. I have, I honestly haven’t seen any emails going back and forth about that one yet – all I know is that it did pass, um, as, like with this one I did see email – that’s why I knew a little bit about what was going on but, ah, but nothing on the eradication one yet. TL: OK. All right. Thank you, sir. JD: Um, one other update – the game biologist under Jim, um, they’re awaiting one signature and then they can offer the position to the person – so it’s a matter of how long before the person can accept the position – so that should be up and running. TL: Do you know anything about this guy? 17
