Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes —July 20, 2015 of them are, you know, the big money ones and the very heated ones so... I would ask- well, if you know something comes up all the time — put it on the agenda for next meeting. Send out as much information — information — you can disseminate information but you cannot call for an agreement of a commitment— that's all. And then you can discuss and as — the duties and responsibilities of a commission — of each commissioner is that if something comes across your desk as a commissioner— you should read it before you actually get to the meeting. So that the discussion is going to be as productive as possible, yes? Is that fair? Chair Lodge stated he is not sure he understands it all, he would like to meet with BCH to discuss further. B. Command felt that BCH covered everything including the rule making, which he thinks is a real good idea for the commission to consider at the next meeting, if possible. BCH also said that both State and County commissions post their rules and some of them are really efficient and effective rules which can be used as guides as a template for how to run your meetings. You can pick and chose and cut and paste from other commissions to do your rules. GMAC early on had taken the position to follow Roberts Rules of Order. And had decided to keep meetings informal, but do understand that we need some ground rules for everybody to follow not only for the commissioners but the public as well to keep order and to make sure business gets done and to make sure it is fair and equitable participation by everyone. The chair may allow folks to speak beyond the 3-minute limit. BCH suggested that the commissioners review the rules as a whole since we are in a new year with new commissioners on board. Also, it is the responsibility of each commissioner to make sure that when you come to the meeting you're prepared to address what the changes if any. No serial meetings. Chair Lodge will include "Rules" for the next agenda. IX. Committee Reports: MB: None. 17
