Mr. Adams: Yup that part of it too. Okay so I hear that and we'll work with <br /> that. A couple of other items if everyone's okay with continuing. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Yes. <br /> Mr. Adams: We have a...we have a total...number of board members of five <br /> and we have had difficulty at least over the last three years I think <br /> since I've been on the board of meeting quorum on occasion and <br /> that isn't necessarily gonna be...it doesn't necessarily getting <br /> better even if you are at full five...all it takes is one to be absent <br /> for some reason and then you can have an issue with such as we <br /> have recently with one who maybe...feels that they need to recuse <br /> themselves and all of sudden you're at three again.
