Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 29, 2019 meeting of the study group is that there was no transparency and they stayed to the very end where they drew conclusion on a board, which did not give them the opportunity to say no and I contacted – I gave them information so they can contact the people that brought the study group together, which was HFAC, PTF and – like I said – this goes back that when DAR Division back in 1995 wanted to pass this registration thing – so back in 2016 they did a feasibility study – what came out of the feasibility study is this study group and there was division in their conferencing that Conservation International that did the presentation and the rest of the study group, which includes HFAC and the other group and Westpac – they couldn’t have a meeting of the mind of how the presentation and so what came down they agreed to disagree and they told Conservation International that with the public you need to be transparent but that totally didn’t happen at the meeting so I’m having my next meeting in February and I’ll do my report back then – and the report I have with them is the same report I said earlier – so I’m also asking for Hilo to have a group on Traditional and Customary Practices and Terrin Apiahi of Kekaha has agreed to step on board and hold the Hilo meeting on Traditional and Customary Practices.
