Ayes: Commissioners Akamu, Hustace, Lopez, <br />Lui, Yadao, Yoshina, and Chair Kossow. <br />Noes: None. <br />Abstain: None. <br />KOSSOW: Is there any further amendments that need to be made, that anybody sees fit <br />in the Commission? <br />LUL Yes, I move that we remove then the Abstentions clause from the voting procedure <br />section of the rules because kanalua supersedes it. <br />KOSSOW: Motion is on the table to remove Abstentions from, what is this, 6.C.? <br />LUL It's 6.13. Oh, yeah, it's 6.C. Yeah. <br />KOSSOW: Of removing 6.C. from the rules that was recently adopted under <br />Abstentions. Is there a second? <br />LOPEZ: I have to second just to get into discussion, please. It's Kawena. <br />KOSSOW: Mr. Lopez seconds. Any discussion? <br />LOPEZ: Yes. I like the idea, but I'm not sure if this is —how this gets affected. Do we <br />need to go through the amendment process? In public hearing, such? Or are we adopting <br />rules to replace Abstentions with the kanalua concept? Can you clarify that please? <br />MELLON-LACEY: This is Diana. I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm understanding your <br />question. I mean, all changes to the rules would be presentedI mean we would present <br />these rules and then the public would have the opportunity to comment on them, but that <br />would be true of any changes that we make. <br />LOPEZ: Alright. So, then we have adopted these rules. <br />MELLON-LACEY: Yes. We took a vote. <br />LOPEZ: We've already changed, from this moment forward, requires the amendment <br />process to kick in. One of which is, introduce brining in the kanalua concept and the <br />other is striking the Abstentions because of the kanalua concept. That's the way I'm <br />understanding where we are now. (Pause.) So, both of those motions would go into an <br />amendment process. Is that where we are? <br />MELLON-LACEY: Yes. <br />KOSSOW: From my understanding, it was going be to the next meeting <br />IR <br />
