AA: So this last legislative season we did not draft any bills that, you know… We worked with some legislators, you know, and advised them, um, in ways to, you know, draft it but we did not draft it ourselves. I not sure, as Sylvia says, I not sure how you guys did it in the past but we just kinda, you know, recommended or advised but we didn’t force anybody’s hand. TS: Hmm… Yeah, I just, I don’t understand that part about how that’s lobbying. That’s a political process that’s open to everyone. We’re not a non-profit organization. SW: No, you are not. TS: Yeah… AA: OK. Another question Tony? Or have your questions been answered? TS: Um, yeah, well just the inter-action group – if they inter-action group comes up with something… SW: So the inter-action group under most auspices needs to be created first by the Commission. If the inter-action group’s purpose is to investigate, the entire Commission needs to approve the inter-action group – they need to approve – one second let me get to that slide – the Commission would need to approve the scope of the investigation – the findings and after the investigation is done – all of the findings and recommendations need to be presented at a regular meeting to the Commission as a whole and any deliberation or decision making that needs to happen would happen by the Commission as a whole. TS: OK. Thank you, Sylvia. RD: Ah, Chair, Robert Duerr. I have a couple questions. AA: Go ahead, Robert. RD: Yeah, I thought in the presentation that audio only was required for a quorum. SW: Visibility means to be for a quorum, audio only is for any additional members beyond the quorum. At all times a quorum needs to be visible. RD: OK. The other thing is in Hawaii code 6-9.3 is Robert’s Rule of Order regulatory or is it a recommended policy? SW: It is a policy. It is used by all boards and commissions. 15
