<br />JONES: Only because I’m not sure about my internet bandwidth. This is actually a video
<br />that I’ve created generically for anyone using the application. Whether for Council
<br />redistricting, or for Statewide redistricting, or even Congressional redistricting. Actually,
<br />the example that I use in the training is Congressional redistricting a smaller area here on
<br />Oʻahu. But it’s the exact same process that you would follow through there in the
<br />County. If you’ve got the video queued up, you can go ahead and get it started. It takes
<br />about 25 minutes because I go through the entire process from getting an ID, all the way
<br />through opening a plan. Brenda shaking her head said, yes I’ve seen that you got one and
<br />you’ve been making some plans. So, that’s great! And then all the way through in the end
<br />where you can submit a plan, right? Part of the idea is that it’s the same data, the same
<br />software tools that the Commission uses, the public has access to. So I go through that
<br />all. It's about a 25 minute video, so are we ready to start that?
<br />
<br />KAUKA: Yes, we are. Thank you Mr. Rosenbrock—I'm sorry, Royce. I’m sorry about
<br />that.

<br />JONES (via recorded video presentation): Aloha! Hawaiʻi Redistricting Online is an
<br />online application that will be used by the Hawaiʻi Reapportionment Commission to
<br />redistrict the Hawaiʻi seats, the Congressional seats in the U.S. House, the Hawaiʻi State
<br />Senate, and Hawaiʻi State House District. This set of tools and data are available for the
<br />Commission, members of the Advisory Council, members of the general public, set of
<br />data and tools to draw our redistricting plans. This video is intended for anyone wishing
<br />to use the application. It will step through how to get a user account, because it does
<br />require a login. How to then, use plan templates and open a plan, how to use the map
<br />window and district windows. And the biggest one, how to assign census blocks to
<br />districts because that’s what redistricting is about, assigning census blocks to the different
<br />legislative districts. We’ll also talk about sharing your plan, reviewing your plan, and if
<br />you like your plan, and would like to submit it to the Commission for it’s consideration,
<br />we’ll talk about how to submit your plan.
<br />
<br />First what it will look like when you come to the app, you will see a sign to sign in. If it’s
<br />your first time, you’ll need to create a new account. If you’re returning, you can use that
<br />account infomration you’ve created, to login. But to get started, I’ll show you how to
<br />create a new account. So you’ll click here, Create A New Account, which will open up a
<br />window. I’m going to enlarge it so you can see it a little better and fill it in. So here you’ll
<br />put in your name, email address, you’ll create a user name and a password. These are
<br />ones that you know, that you make up. And then, you’ll click the create button. You’ll
<br />see the okay if the account is successful. If someone else already has that username,
<br />you’ll be prompted to change your username. But if everything goes fine, you’ll see User
<br />Account Successfully Created, and you can click the okay button.
<br />
<br />At that point, the app will log you in. This is managed by ESRI, the software, or the
<br />online application software, is created by ESRI and the Office of Elections has supported
<br />the Commission here in this. When you’re signing in to use the online application, you’re
<br />actually signing in to this Office of Elections and ESRI website. So you’ll put in the
