  • Report to the President on 902 Consultations
    REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT ON 902 CONSULTATIONS Special Representatives of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands January 2017 This page intentionally left blank. About the 902 Consultations Between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands The Covenant to Establish the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America (Covenant) governs relations between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Section 902 of the Covenant provides that the Government of the United States and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands “will designate special representatives to meet and consider in good faith such issues affecting the relationship between the Northern Mariana Islands and the United States as may be designated by either Government and to make a report and recommendations with respect thereto.” These intermittent discussions between the United States and the CNMI have become known as 902 Consultations. Beginning in October 2015, the late CNMI Governor Eloy Inos, followed by Governor Ralph Torres in January 2016, requested U.S. President Barack Obama initiate the 902 Consultations process. In May 2016, President Obama designated Esther Kia’aina, the Assistant Secretary for Insular Areas at the U.S. Department of the Interior, as the Special Representative for the United States for 902 Consultations. Governor Ralph Torres was designated the Special Representative for the CNMI. i Special Representatives and Teams of the United States and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Special Representatives Esther P.
