LT: OK. <br /> <br />SW: If there were, if you were going to be appointed as a speaker on behalf of GMAC then that <br />would have to be something we need to \[unclear\]. <br /> <br />LT: \[Unclear\] OK. Thank you. I just thought that I’d check on that. <br /> <br />AA: Well you can testify as your own personal… <br /> <br />LT: Yeah… <br /> <br />SW: Yes, so nothing prohibits you from testifying or having comments in your own personage of <br />Leomana – just not as a GMAC Commissioner. <br /> <br />RD: A question to Corporation Counsel. <br /> <br />SW: Yes. <br /> <br />RD: I’m Robert Duerr, District – 1. Can a Commissioner in a positive at a meeting say that, for <br />example, that I’m a Commissioner, however, I’m not speaking in a Commissioner capacity? <br /> <br />SW: No, that kind of muddies the line if you are going to speak because that already attributes your <br />speech to GMAC. So, it’s just best to not mention it at all. <br /> <br />RD: Do you mind if I get a clarification on that from OIP? <br /> <br />SW: For what exactly? <br /> <br />RD: If being a Commissioner can be put in in a positive in an introduction during the meeting with <br />the proviso that you’re not speaking as a Commissioner capacity. <br /> <br />SW: That goes to – that does not go to a Sunshine Rule – that goes to a Board of Ethics and Code of <br />Ethics. <br /> <br />LT: Leomana, District – 3. How can I express my qualifications and my skills without, like how can I <br />tell it – this is why I know without saying I’m a GMAC Commissioner. <br /> <br />SW: So, I’m sure before you even became a part of this board you were active in various other <br />groups outside of GMAC. You’re more than welcome to state any and all of those things if you <br />want to express your qualifications – the problem is that you’re providing testimony one way or <br />another if you mention the fact that you are a GMAC Commissioner it’s naturally going to be <br />attributed back to a position of GMAC. So it’s best if it’s just \[unclear\]. The only instance in <br />which you might want to designate that, yes, I’m a GMAC Commissioner but I am testifying in <br />my personal capacity is if the place at which testifying or the place in which you are providing <br />input – all of the people who are already there already know that you are a GMAC <br />Commissioner – so then the clarification is necessary. But because you’d be going to Honolulu – <br />the form in which you would be… <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
