Hawai’i Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – April 21, 2014 cover letter to have to quote some of this, OK? Now you also need a copy of the endangered species list – which is readily available from the Fish and Wildlife Service – you get the one with the scientific name, the common name… Chair Sylvester: Is that readily available through the… S. Araujo: Yeah. I going ask for ‘em. \[Unclear\] Chair Sylvester: Freedom of Information Act? \[Unclear\] On line. S. Araujo: I don’t know if it’s on line but I suggest you going need – the only problem with the on line one versus the hard copy – the hard copy is official. You get it from them, it is official. Chair Sylvester: What is our expertise and what can be listed and delisted? S. Araujo: OK.

Then I can start looking at it on the side and see how hard it is because I mean sometimes it may be it’s easier to get information and at other times – I mean the ways things have been here to get information it’s quite difficult process to get a hold of somebody for you to get the information. That’s my suggestion. D. Yoshina: I’m going to have to sit down and \[unclear\]. S. Araujo: Are the rest of the – I know this is for you guys looking at how hard work this going be. OK. Try look at it from this stand point – it’s time consuming. OK. It’s a little time consuming. But this – at least the plant list and species list is \[unclear\] is the actual cause of all the problems. So if you can get rid of the cause of the problem – now you can have game management because along with the plant listing the entire State Forest Reserve 4
