COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS Chairman Vicente Pangelinan. Bill number 19 is an act to amend Chapter 7 Title 3 Guam Code Annotated relative to capturing taxes and licenses from Gaming Operations. The billwas introduced by Senator Chris Duenas. While we bring up the first panel, I have sign-up sheets here and we'll go ahead and call the individuals in the order they have signed up. I have is Ms. Jackie Marati, Mr. Bob Steffy, Mr. Rick Blas, and Mr. Gordon Chu for oral testimony. Again, before we present and proceed with the presentation of public testimony and receipt of it, I would like to allow the author of the legislation an opportunity for a short synopsis of the intention of the bill and then we can receive the public testimony. (a) Bill Sponsor Summary 2 Senator Chris Duenas. Thank you Mr. Chair and it will be short. My staff wrote the intent very well and summarizes the bill. I would like an opportunity first Mr. Chair to allow for those who are here that maybe were mislead by recent publications in terms of the content of this bill. I would like to read real quickly a legislation lesson in bills when they're written - the underlined portions of amended bills are what is actually being put into the bill and amended into the bill. The portions that are not underlined are actually portions that are currently law. When it says, "At which tax should not be limited to limited gaming activities alone" - that does not encompass all of the non-profit organizations that have been made to think that they're going to be paying 20% on the proceeds that they generate with their operations. If you are not under the Gaming Control Act, if you're not dog racing,

  • Oceania Regional Umpire Report 2011
    OCEANIA REGION UMPIRE ACTIVITY REPORT TO THE 2011 ISF CONGRESS, OKLAHOMA, USA By Oceania Regional Coordinator Wayne Saunders Executive Summary Oceania is geographically spread over both the Northern and Southern hemispheres and has no regular historic regional competition. With more frequent ISF World Championship qualifiers there is a realistic opportunity for more regular international competition. However with the restriction of appointing only ISF certified umpires to ISF World Championship qualifiers there is little opportunity for umpires outside of Australia and New Zealand to be assigned. In Oceania there is a real need to revert back to allowing competing National Federations the right to select a suitably capable umpire to be assigned to ISF regional competitions. Communications With such a widely dispersed membership there is much reliance on electronic communications and access to training material available through ISF UmpSchool. The identification of an Umpire-in-Chief in more National Federations has provided the opportunity to increase direct communications with and between umpiring programmes. SKYPE video conferencing - Bob Stanton participated in the pitching presentation to the 2010 SNZ National Umpire Staff meeting and again at the 2011 meeting where current ISF umpiring matters were discussed with both the New Zealand and Australian National Umpiring Staff’s. Activity reports were received from Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand and are attached. Pacific Games Softball was not included in the 2011 Pacific Games held in New Caledonia. The 2015 games to be hosted by Papua New Guinea will see a strong push by the hosts for softball to be reinstated. Regional Exchanges The Trans Tasman umpire exchange between Australia and New Zealand continues.

    SPC/CRGA 41 (11) Paper 4.5 SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY FORTY-FIRST MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF GOVERNMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIONS (Noumea, New Caledonia,1 – 4 November 2011) Technical and Scientific Agenda AGENDA ITEM 4.5 – LAND RESOURCES DIVISION REPORT (Presented by the Secretariat) SUMMARY 1. In this third year of implementation of its second integrated strategic plan (covering the period 2009–2012), the Land Resources Division (LRD) continues to align its activities to the 2008 and 2010 HOAFS recommendations and to national priorities elaborated in joint country strategies (JCS). 2. The division continued its facilitation role in policy, legislation and planning development. LRD ensures that the Pacific Islands’ voice is heard beyond the region by actively engaging in important international fora such as the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Annual General Sessions and Regional Commission meetings, and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). 3. LRD strengthened its partnership with the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GIZ) with the continuation of the SPC /GIZ sustainable land-based resources management project. This project has now expanded and is known as the SPC/GIZ Coping with Climate Change for the Pacific Island Region (CCCPIR) project. In addition, a new SPC/GIZ project, Climate Protection through Forest Conservation in the Pacific Island Countries focusing on reduced emission from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) was initiated.
