Others present are <br />Director Stacie Waltjen, Administrative Officer Brandon Gonzalez, Deputy Corporation <br />Counsel Cameron Takamura, Licensing Technician Zoe Bertelmann, and Commission <br />Secretary Hau`oli Sayles. <br />Gonzalez: Madam Chair, just a quick note for the record, under absent and excused it <br />says Alan Okamoto, Commissioner, however he hasn't been confirmed yet so he <br />technically can't be absent and excused because he's not confirmed as a <br />Commissioner. Yeah, so there may have been some confusion because he had a <br />carryover period, right? But his second hearing for confirmation didn't occur yet, so <br />thanks. <br />Yadao: Thank you. <br />II.
