A quote by Williamson B.C. Chang, Professor of Law, University of Hawaii at Manoa, from:
http://sacredmaunakea.com/2015/06/28/haw...haleakala/
"There was an opportunity to organize “splinter meetings that might have been used to provide different views on the Mauna Kea and Haleakala controversies:”
“The IAU General Assembly provides the opportunity for you to hold public or private splinter meetings at the meeting venue in Honolulu, Hawaii.”
“Sacred Mauna Kea”, and many other groups, from around the world, would love to organize and participate in splinter meetings, but guess what— the deadline for creating such splinter meetings, June 15, 2015, has passed.
How can this happen? What happened to principle of transparency? Of a forthcoming government?"
No opportunity? Really? There were years of opportunity.
