history of that section, why was it written that way, and that's all done at the request of the Commission. So the Commission goes through it and decides what they want to take a closer look at and then requests more information on that particular section, and that would show up on a later agenda. MS. KAWAUCHI: Mr. Chairperson, I'm still trying to figure out if Mr. Nahale -a is fully satisfied. I'm wondering if the proposed schedule should reflect the Articles discussed and then for the following meeting or the following month reflect something on the timetable to show that it's an appropriate time to create the ad -hoc committee or to table the discussion for further discussion of the Articles that were discussed before. I just want to make sure that Mr. Nahale -a's concerns were addressed, and that if he wants communication from a department head there's room for that. If we're going to discuss, for example, Articles I -IV and we request communication from a department head about Articles I -IV, that there's room on the next agenda to create an ad -hoc committee, or decide we want communication from department heads. I don't know if I'm further confusing it, but I just want to make sure that the concerns are addressed and the community and the public are properly noticed as to how we are going to be taking up all of these agenda items. I think it might be a little bit vague or not as comprehensive. Mr. Chair, I leave it up to you to invite any other comments. CHR. HAITSUKA: I think that if we do discuss something and Mr. Nahale -a has a suggestion as to whether or not we need further follow up with Administration or someone else, I think we can have a motion at that time. We can either have Mr. Hookano follow up or if we want to create an ad -hoc committee, we have to put that on the next agenda and have a motion to put that on the next agenda. I think Mr. Nahale -a, through our procedures that we adopted today, could make a request to put that on the next agenda. So, I think it can be handled that way. Mr. Hookano, is that correct? MR. HOOKANO: Yes. I'm just wondering, Mr. Nahale -a, does that satisfy your question? MR. NAHALE -A: Mr. Chair, what would help me is if we are going to have these agendized discussions, I just want to have confidence that appropriate department heads or other staff know that if they want something proposed, they should contact one of us individually. I kind of had it in my head that during this item people would be coming up and making suggestions. That's what I thought was going to happen. So, if that's not the communication to the appropriate staff, and they want the Commissioners to propose something, then I need to get some direct communication in order to do that. MS. JARMAN: Mr. Chair, can we ask Mr. Ashida to come to the microphone? CHR. HAITSUKA: Sure. Good afternoon, Mr. Ashida. MR. ASHIDA: Good afternoon. MS. JARMAN: You may not know the answer to his question, but is the Administration planning on having a representative here at each meeting and is the Administration looking 13
