Review and Discussion of Commission’s Organizational Chart and Roles & Responsibilities● Each Commissioner was asked to review respective areas of kuleana (responsibility) on
the Organizational Chart draft (see attached draft pg. 10)● Ms. de Silva: important to think through each item and how it relates to thecommissioner’s kuleana and overlaps with others.
● Chair English: consider very carefully if this is what can be accomplished. This format

Minutes of the Commission on the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture

helps to view work groups.
● Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: encouraged commissioners to continue review and make edits as needed
and then bring back to the next meeting.
Discussion of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs):•••

Fiscal SOPs
Decision-making SOPs
Communication SOPs

Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā suggested to skip this item today to gain more time to research SOPs andmake better recommendations.
Festival Logo
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā introduced logo and opened floor for Ms. de Silva to explain where it comes fromand the history and ʻike (knowledge, understanding, insight) behind its creation and how it has
been used in previous years.
● Ms. de Silva shared about the logo and intent behind the creation of it. It has been used inlast 5 festivals (20 years). Use of traditional motifs. All the components are already there.
(See attached notes from slide deck) pg. 11 - 18
Logo drafts:● 1st Logo Draft (design with circle)● 2nd Logo Draft (design with no circle)● 3rd Logo Draft (design with sail only)
Ms. Bento: Has a nostalgic feeling to it. Liked that the motifs are tried and true. Simple enoughthat people can see it and think up of what comes up for them. This image brings her back to1978 at Magic Island and seeing the Hōkūleʻa for the first time. Traditional ʻike and practices
help us innovate and regenerate.
Chair English: People across Oceania will look at this logo and immediately feel a familiarity
with it. The symbology of it is in the simplicity. Because it has been used over the past 20
years it is recognized as Hawaiʻi.
Ms. de Silva: These old motifs have been used at every festival and has minimized theconfusion of Hawaiʻi’s identity.
Ms. Bento: Liked the draft with the circle.
Chair English: Liked the 1st & 3rd drafts. Looks like the map of Oceania. Different layers ofMinutes of the Commission on the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture

symbology. 3rd is highly stylized which speaks to him a lot.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: 2nd Draft calls him. It is crisper, cleaner, and modern. Works better with a smallerlayout. Consider the core elements and then we can add to it for specifics.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Are we on the right track?
Chair English: the 1st draft with a circle puts a boundary on it and is old school. Liking the 2nddraft because it has a feeling of hope built into it because the limits are not there (circle).
Ms. Kelaʻi: 2nd draft feels like it can be in the past, future, it can be now. 3rd draft works for her
the best. Clean, crisp, fresh. Can see the past but also the freedom of moving forward. Asked if
this is the only choice for logo?
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Logo selection is not intended to be done today but rather to have discussion
so that his team can make some adjustments and bring back suggestions to next meeting basedon feedback by commission.
Ms. de Silva: 1st draft is familiar. 2nd draft is more adaptable to how we need to use it. 3rd draft
the graphics look crowded. It is missing the lāhui in the 3rd and don’t want to remove the people
from the original petroglyph. To be used it needs to have the people there like in the 2nd draft.
Ms. Bento: Wayfinding is the thing that connects us all throughout the Pacific. The 2nd draft
connects the canoe to the people and straddles the traditional to the modern.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Are we okay with coloring of the logo?
Chair English: Using the FedEx examples shows how to code using different colorations in thebranding family. Makes sense to help us with coding. People will take this familiarity home.
Ms. de Silva: Can we try coloring the lettering and not the graphic? Also variations for thecolorations.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Yes, we will layout different variations and how they will be used in different
contexts. This logo was brought forward for consideration for two main reasons: 1) Cost: This isbeing donated, and 2) It has been used in previous festivals by the Hawaiʻi delegation, so it is“bringing it home.”

Ms. Kelaʻi: Are these the only options? Are any other options being submitted? Don’t want tooffend anybody, but would like to see something else. Another lens to look through- this is notfamiliar to me and will not be to others. Can we add keiki (children)?
Ms. de Silva: Would vote against a change in the logo to add or subtract elements.
Chair English called a recess at 10:04 a.m.
Chair English reconvened the meeting at 10:16 a.m.
Continuation of discussion on Logo drafts:
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: What if we were to designate core elements of the logo that do not change, but
ask someone to come up with a brand family based on these elements.
Ms. Lum: That could be a good idea; take the idea and update/tweak it to give it a new look andfeel.
Ms. de Silva: Just want to caution to not stylize it or change the petroglyph. These are the sameimages given to Aunty Vicky Takamine. These are the images; these are the logos, and she does
not want them to be changed. Okay with adding color but not changing the lines, etc. We should
consider a time frame for this. It’s on our agenda, and weʻre working on it, but would prefer not
to be here 6 months later trying to figure out the logo.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Is the commission okay with deciding on the premise and with why I’m bringing
this to the table? It comes down to the budget; we don’t have the money to create something newor offer any royalties. If he were a state bureaucrat, there is a sole source justification here. For thelast 5 festivals (over 20 years) brand identity has gone into this logo.
Chair English: I like working with this. We don’t have the time or resources to start over.
Comfortable with different iterations of this but opening it up will create much more work where
we don’t need it. Let’s work with this in some iteration. It makes our life easier to deal with.
There is a lot more work before us.
Ms. Lum asked Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā if he has someone in mind to look at this in an informal way.
Ms. Kelaʻi: Reminded the commissioners that no artist is going to take on another artist’s
work and change it; it is not right. You cannot uphold the artists vision if you allow anotherartist to tap in and take over what has already been created. Would be better to have themcreate something completely new in this case.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā to Chair English: Could we formalize what the next steps are? Can werequest a motion to adopt and come back as a brand family?
Chair English requested a motion. Ms. de Silva moved to adopt the logos as a central motif
for Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā’s team to work on a brand family and come back to the commission withsuggestions. The motion was seconded by Ms. Lum. No Discussion A roll call vote wastaken with the following Commissioners approving the motion: Chair English, Mr.

Minutes of the Commission on the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture
Tuesday, October 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. via ZOOMPage 6 of 11Ka‘anā‘anā, Ms. Lum, Ms. de Silva, Rep. Onishi, and Ms. Bento. Ms. Kelaʻi voted against
the motion.
Proposed Cultural and Traditional Practices to be Offered at the Festival
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: What are the programming offerings that we are going to do or ask a delegation
to sign up to participate in? Please consider costs associated with running the programs. The
commission needs to be focused and clear about the most important practices and what they are.
Mr. Gionson pulled up a document that was provided by Ms. Bento. These were the definitions
worked out in DRAFT form based on festivals prior. Mr. Gionson wrote notes directly into the
document to share live with commissioners and the public as details were discussed.
Must haves:• Dance – traditional, contemporary• Music/Singing (perhaps not choral singing as this takes up a lot of delegate spots)• Oral tradition/Storytelling/Drama• Visual Arts & Literature• Health & Wellness
 Culinary Arts (use Kapiʻolani Community College instead of putting it in the Festival
Village) Healing Arts
• Fiber Arts (kapa and weaving) and Carving
Eliminate (taken from proposed 2020 plans):• Traditional Games (doesn’t usually have strong attendance)• Handicrafts (focus on larger areas like weaving and carving)• Kite Flying• Surfing (only one country had signed up for 2020)
Discussion on voyaging:
Chair English: Consider the larger topic of voyaging rather than focusing on canoes sailing here
because of the time of year (i.e., hurricane season).
Ms. Bento: Consider voyaging as a way of building leadership and for getting our people back on
the waterfront.
Ms. de Silva: We should showcase Hokuleʻa. We could explore the idea of sailing canoes fromthe neighbors islands for a symbolic voyaging event.
Chair English called a recess for lunch at 11:54 a.m.
Chair English reconvened the meeting at 1:02 p.m.

Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Requested feedback on Programing offering discussion:
Chair English: Liked that it is lighter, not so many activities.
Rep. Onishi: Requested info and clarification regarding opening/closing ceremony.
Ms. de Silva: The opening and closing ceremonies are a given. The categories of performances we
decide on are what we invite delegations to sign up to participate in and are optional.
Ms. Bento: If countries arrive late or leave early they are not going to participate so that’s a way tofind out. For 2020 this summer we were going to add University of Hawaiʻi-West Oahu (UHWO)
and ʻAha Kāne to host the heads of delegations for an awa ceremony. Just wanted to mention thatin case and UHWO said they would host ʻAha ʻĀina ceremony.
Ms. de Silva: Awa ceremonies are usually planned around the waʻa (canoe) arrival ceremony.
Festival Program Schedule
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Asked if we can segway into next agenda item as this discussion is moving thatway anyway. Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā asked Mr. Gionson to bring up the sheet with Dates and DRAFT
schedule.
Ms. Bento: Requested to start from scratch and go back and see what we may have missed (Seeattached Festival Program Schedule working document) pp. 19 -24.
• June 6-16, 2024
• FestPAC schedule of Events document being edited during discussion
Discussion:
Day 1 (June 6):●●●●

Load-in day (not open to the public)
Wa’a ceremony (early morning)
Awa ceremony (noon)
Opening Ceremony (evening)

Ms. de Silva: You want to arrive and depart as close to beginning and end as possible. Consider
how long it takes to travel. Can’t have awa ceremony until they arrive which could happen opening
day at noon then have opening ceremonies later afternoon or evening. Would be cool to have wa’awelcoming by canoe clubs.
Ms. Bento: How early can we have access to festival housing? Awa ceremony is traditionally atnoon; perhaps have the awa ceremony on the Friday to welcome people, but it is appropriate tohave after the opening ceremony.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Asked June Matsumoto if she remembered what the University of Hawaiʻioffered. Ms. Matsumoto answered that she didn’t remember offhand and would have to look it up.

Head of States meeting on Friday, June 7 so that they can plan. Venues placed in the parking lot for
now.
Chair English: Are we far enough out to ask them when the delegations are having their own
receptions?
Ms. de Silva: We need to set our schedule first then the others will adjust/follow.
Day 2 (June 7):•••

Festival Village Open (all can be open)
Head of Delegation & Head of State reception
Usually includes a guest/spouse/security

Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Host ceremony- state officials to attend (Chair English). These are the marquee
events to highlight and then we will work on the detailed events. What about the parade? It is on
June 15. Parade on the back half of the event would be more manageable. Like Lei Draping. Does
Kapiʻolani Park have “not my park” attitude? Can we do a mix of venues within walking
distances?
Ms. de Silva: Parade is on June 15. She spoke to Kainoa Daines. If heads of delegations want toparticipate they would add to the parade. If we want to have our own parade on Day 2 or Day 3, hewould spearhead it for us.
Ms. Kelaʻi: Logistics will depend on the venue. Are we doing Lei Draping of the delegations?
Ms. Bento: Timing of presentations of delegations is about 7 minutes per delegation. You arelooking at 5-6 hours to present all delegations.
Chair English: Suggested tabling the parade idea. Maybe allow heads of delegations opportunity towatch instead of scheduling them to participate.
Day 4 (June 9):•

Optional participation for delegations due to religious beliefs

Day 10 (June 15):•

Closing of festival village- closing ceremony can happen this day or last day.

Festival Venues
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Reminder we have no money and want us to think about flow. Let’s consider
these things. Asked Mr. Gionson to open a clean word doc for notes(See attached Festival Venues working document) pg. 25
Festival Village Locations:o Convention Center: Ala Wai Prominade Area

 Consider cost for food & beverage and audio/visual Space is limitedo Ala Moana Park/Magic Island Safety Aspect Lifeguards
 Tents are expensive
 Liability is huge
 Parking will be a concern
 Ocean is too tempting, do not want to risk a drowningo Convention Center Consider cost for food & beverage and audio/visual
The following venues were discussed but agreed to not be considered for festival village locationso Aloha Stadiumo Kapiʻolani Park
 Ample space for canoes to arrive Parking all around Large Space Friends of Kapiolani Park Quiet Hours
 One main stage at the bandstando Kualoa
 Too far
 Buses are expensiveo University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa (UHM) John Wise Lawn
 Mallo West Oʻahu
 Unknown venue
 Buses are expensive
Discussion:
Chair English: Ask dollar and cents question- we have some money with Convention Center. Can
we use it for events other than village? It makes sense to use it for events. Let’s take time to think
about the venue carefully.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: The rental cost of the Convention Center can be negotiated, but not the additional
3rd party services like audio/visual, etc. Ala Moana/Magic Island is a good outdoor option.
Convention Center could be easily set-up if needed as a backup and shuttled to. Opening ceremony
should take place at ʻIolani Palace. Open to different venue for the closing ceremony.
Rep. Onishi: Not sure of cost for park usage. Additional cost for tents, porta-potties, etc. Less
attendance if at Kualoa. Are the opening and closing ceremonies taking place at the village?

Ms. Kelaʻi: Safety is a concern with the ocean at Ala Moana beach park. Is Kualoa out for village?
Ala Moana is very costly. Consider that Hōkūleʻa welcoming was $500,000 to set-up
infrastructure. Summer time the park is heavily used.
Ms. Bento: Village needs infrastructure to accommodate the village. When planned for Keʻehi
Lagoon it was $65K just for set-up. Kapiʻolani Park allows for good viewing for canoes to arrive,and there’s the bandstand area, etc. It does get hot, though.
Ms. Hind: UHM John Wise lawn on University Avenue, Mall area, Quad area. Parking, buses, near
freeway, accommodations.
Ms. de Silva: Let’s not consider Kualoa. Agreed by others. Pay attention to noise ordinances. My
first choice is Ala Moana for outdoor village. If we decide to do Ala Moana, we should close thevillage at night to avoid expense of lighting and move the stage to Convention Center at night. We
should respond to Ms. Kelaʻi’s concern of safety if holding village at Ala Moana beach park.
Mr. Ka‘anā‘anā: Asked how do we want to proceed. Do we want to sit on this to allow time todigest and carefully think about it.
Chair English: agreed best to give time to allow it to marinate.
Rep. Onishi: suggested opening at ʻIolani Palace.
Ms. de Silva: Want to assure Ms. Kelaʻi’s that we hear her concerns and acknowledge
them, and we as a commission will make the best decision based on all of the info.
Chair English: requested closing ceremony be at top floor of Convention CenterMs. de Silva: We should decide what we want to do at the closing ceremony and thenchoose the right venue.
