9.1 Excerpt from TMKT Hui Minutes of 15 July 2015
Discussion around sending the scripts via PDF. Whaea Turuhira raised her concern around the
confidentiality and intellectual property issues. A PDF is easily transferred to other people and
not easily tracked. If the schools photocopied their own scripts then these would be the only
copies and can be destroyed or handed back to the schools. The concern for the mana of the
materials far outweighed the convenience of a PDF and sending them to one place to print off.
Motion 10 – That:
1. The Scripts are to be printed off by each Team;
2. For 2017, 31 x sets of Scripts are required (31 Judges) from each competing
Team;
3. Each Team needs to courier & track their Scripts direct to Raana Tangira,
Tairawhiti Cultural Development Trust, Level 3, Nga Wai e Rua Building, Cnr
Lowe Street + Reads Quay, Gisborne 4010.
4. For 2017, the DEADLINE for SCRIPTS to be RECEIVED BY RAANA is – Note that LATE SCRIPTS will incur a
RD 5-POINT PENALTY DEDUCTION from
4PM on TUESDAY 3 OCTOBER 2017. AGGREGATE TOTAL.
5. The Host Committee is to courier ‘sets’ of each team’s Scripts to Judges. Refer also 4.3.2, 4.3.3, plus 6.5.1,

supporting material’ will reach the judges in time for judging - OR that the up to 20 clear days (inclusive) prior
to the competition start date.
9.2 A “Team Intro Page” is required to accompany the Scripts and should include:
