Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 29, 2019 <br /> <br />NP: Sorry, Nani here. I actually oppose that because the Communications <br />Committee has already been given powers to collect information and do <br />things somewhat autonomously which I’m afraid changing the title might <br />disrupt the pre-ordained authority of the Communication Committee. <br /> <br />GD: George here. Can you give a quick summary of what those powers are and <br />what the Communications Committee’s main objective is? <br /> <br />NP: The Communications Committee can collect information without running it by <br />all the commissioners beforehand. <br /> <br />GD: George here, by information you mean from the public? From agencies? <br /> <br /> And to what extent? <br /> <br />NP: Yes, it just depends – there’s just a lot of different situations but it just gives <br />autonomy which is really nice and I’ve enjoyed that benefit kind of frees you <br />up a little bit to move. <br /> <br />GD: George here. So that would be to report back to the commission itself – that <br />information. <br /> <br />TN: Question here. Wouldn’t the Communication policies go – could go under the <br />Public Relations? I mean, it doesn’t divide that – it doesn’t separate it – it’s <br />the same thing – it’s just changing titles. The carryover of the duties of the <br />Communication Committee would still be under Public Relations and you <br />would not defer you from doing what you’re doing right now. It would just <br />lessen how many committees we have because right now there’s no <br />committee reports being done. <br /> <br />NP: I like the way it was but I can be outvoted. <br /> <br />TN: So I still stand on my motion to move the Communications Committee and <br />combine it with the Public Relations. <br /> <br />BKK: There’s a motion on the table – is there a second? Without hearing a second I <br />don’t think the motion can go through. <br /> <br />GD: George here – is there a specific reason or benefit to combining the two <br />committees or is it more for the sake of simplicity... <br /> <br />TN: It’s more for simplicity and not having reports from the committees. If we have <br />too many committees then we don’t have members volunteering to chair that <br />committee. Why we have committee titles that no one’s chairing? <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
