Dispute Resolution

(a) a proposal by Judith Anne Haitana and Dale Pohatu for a lease for a term of 10

alternative lease proposal lodged by another applicant for a longer-term grazing lease
at a different rental level and on different terms; and to resolve whether any such
proposal should be approved, declined, or deferred.
