Opihikao,
I'll pass on your regards to Pam. Thank you!
As for not being told about the news, I can only speak for myself. The two sources you mention are not ones I generally read unless directed there by someone else. I'm sure the University of Hawaii also knew, but if they passed on the news, it certainly didn't get passed down to us plebs in the general Mauna Kea astronomy community, or at least me.
Don't be concerned, I'm used to it. UH operate in their own bubble.
So, apologies for not knowing before you informed us, it's part of the reason I was so shocked, I had to learn of it here.
