  13. Relationship with ICANZ The steering committee meet with Garry in early July to discuss the proposed structure and strategic plan: The major outcomes of this discussion are as follows • We found Garry very supportive of our kaupapa; • Garry suggested that we focus our time on completing the mahi rather than focusing all our time on discussing the best structure. A structure will come with time and a loose grouping maybe more appropriate in the short term; • Garry confirmed that any SIG within ICANZ can lobby or make submissions affecting Maori provided that the communications were not purported to be the views of ICANZ; • Garry stated that ICANZ would be committed to assisting our roopu no matter what structure we decided to pick. ICANZ has reserved specific funding for the coming year that he believes we would be eligible for especially under some of our educational and member advancement objectives. However we need to start with our achievable outputs first. • Garry stated that we need to have a review period to look at what we want to achieve and what we have achieved.
