Subject: Sometimes a standoff is just a standoff. Aloha Governor Ige, I have a proposal to make for an interim solution to the controversy created by the Thirty Meter Telescope. I offer this suggestion for comments and invite all those to whom this letter is addressed and the general public to participate in this discussion. All responses, suggestions, etc. should be sent to my Chief Advocate Alii Manao Nui Lanny Sinkin by email to [email protected] or by mail to P.O. Box 944, Hilo, Hawaii 96721. To be absolutely clear, I stand behind the Protectors of the Mountain without reservation. At the same time, I see people spending time and resources on a situation that is not going to change unless everyone agrees to that change. The change I am proposing is an interim measure that does not resolve the longer-range issues. The proposal operates within the time frame from now until the Supreme Court of Hawaii rules on the TMT case. At that point, the proposed interim resolution expires. All parties would then be free to pursue whatever response they considered appropriate in light of the ruling.







states.

To further clarify our legal position, the Kingdom of Hawaii is the true and legal name of this nation of which I am King. It is also clear that the Kingdom Supreme Court is the proper venue to render legal findings of law and equity as to whether TMT has the blessings of this nation to proceed with the build. That decision by the Kingdom will be based on an Environmental Impact Statement, and ensuring that Religious Practices, Protections of the Bones (burials), Gathering Rights, and Cultural and Traditional Practices are protected. Any decision by the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii would, therefore, be subject to review by the Kingdom of Hawaii Supreme Court. The solution proposed is composed of the following elements: The Thirty Meter Telescope agrees to suspend any efforts to proceed with construction until such time as the Supreme Court of Hawaii issues a ruling in the TMT case. The State Board of Land and Natural Resources rescinds the emergency rules enacted for Mauna a Wkea. The State Board of Land and Natural Resources rescinds the delegation of sole authority to the Chairperson to close John Burns Way/Mauna Kea Observatory Access Road. The Office of Mauna Kea Management refrains from issuing any new rules governing spiritual practices on the Mountain. The Protectors of the Mountain remove their 24 hour spiritual vigil from the Mountain. The Hawaii County Prosecutors Office dismisses with prejudice all charges filed against those protecting the Mountain. The Tahuna of the Temple of Lono agrees to suspend pursuit of the pending Federal lawsuit addressing the TMT situation. Those who have filed legal challenges to the DLNR rules agree to withdraw those challenges as moot, once the rules are withdrawn. Those who have filed requesting a contested hearing on the DLNR rules agree to withdraw their petition as moot, once the rules are withdrawn.







states.

Again, this suggestion is just a proposal for purposes of discussion and not meant to imply any particular party would agree to any of the actions proposed. E waikhi ka pono I mnalo It is well to be united in thought that all may have peace. Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono, Edmund K.
