Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – May 23, 2016 TL: OK. Do you have any other? JD: Um, I have vague answers to some of the other questions, um, OK, ah, \[unclear\] the senate – about the senate meeting – so what Jim envisions is we hope to have and interim group up and running before the legislature. I do not believe they, they meet just to – what is it – what is the term? TL: Confirm… JD: Confirm, ah, so, he’s hoping that we have a group up and running and then hopefully they confirm the group, yeah, at the time, yeah… TL: \[Unclear\] That’s actually… JD: ….in existence. TL: ….I believe what people here would want. JD: OK. Yeah. TL: I think they want to get this thing going – I think they want to get their structure going and along with that structure what the framework. The other thing along those lines would be the application process, um, you know, again that application process should reflect the wishes of these gentlemen here in the audience and, ah, who have participated in this process and, so, would you entertain an application from the hunting community to use? JD: Ah, yeah, that’d be fine, yeah. So, um, you’d like to see it vetted out at the, um, on the districts. TL: Definitely. JD: And then we pass it on up, yeah. And we can make our recommendations as they go up the chain. We will not – when we say we will not – judge the qualifications but we can make recommendations, sorry, it’s been a long day. I’m just – making sure I make note to let Jim know the importance – I got it down twice – of the suggestions coming from the community, ah, on the way up but I would encourage you to talk to him about that too so it’s coming from two angles. TL: We’re gonna have some of our members here do that as well. JD: Yeah, OK. I fully support that. 6
