YOSHINA: I have a related question. <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Yes. <br /> YOSHINA: And, possibly, there is no answer to this but <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Okay. <br /> YOSHINA: What if we don't get the information in a timely manner? So, what if in <br /> September, the Census Bureau doesn't give us information? <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Yeah, and that's a really good question, and again at this point you <br /> know, I don't have an answer to that. I'm working with former Judge Elizabeth Strance, <br /> our Corporation Counsel, on this issue, and I'm certain that we're going to be, or already <br /> are, in contact with the Attorney General's Office at the State level to see what the State, <br /> you know, has—is planning because I'm told that several of the other islands, you know, <br /> they do it at-large so they don't have quite the same time constraints that we do with each <br /> district. So, the onus is for us, a little bit bigger. And, I'd hope to have more information <br /> and a clearer idea of when we can really expect this data in the near future, but right now, <br /> I was quite dismayed, as dismayed as all of you are, when I heard it was going to be <br /> possibly September. <br /> YOSHINA: Okay. Thank you. <br /> LOPEZ: This is Kawena. I have a question. <br /> KOSSOW: Go ahead, Mr. Lopez. <br /> LOPEZ: Ladies, the subject of the laptop computer for business of the Commission in <br /> drafting plans. One of the critical things among us, particularly being remote from each <br /> other, is communication. So, would that laptop include our ability to email each other, <br /> email members of the support staff for the Commission? Or is it just strictly for the plan? <br /> Or have you thought about that? <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Is it strictly for what? I'm sorry. <br /> LUL The plan. <br /> LOPEZ: For developing the <br /> MELLON-LACEY: Oh, the plan. Well, it would be for the business of the Commission <br /> so if it'sif you need to email Pat, let's say because you have a question about <br /> something with the software so, then of course, that's totally appropriate because that's <br /> part of the business. And, of course, as you saw from the Sunshine Law, you can't really <br /> engage in private discussions with the members of the Commission outside of a meeting <br /> 31 <br />
