   Re: Larsen v. Hawaiian Kingdom, Arbitral Proceedings Permanent Court of Arbitration

Dear Ninia and Keanu:

    I received an e-mail message (attached) from Christopher Greenwood who is asking that Keanu contact his clerk in order to negotiate his fees for services to be rendered in this proceeding. Apparently, Mr. Greenwood has delegated the negotiations to his clerk. As such, Keanu should contact David Grief to discuss fee arrangements.

    In addition, I received Ninia's telephone message this evening inquiring into the status of our contact with Gavan Griffith. We sent an e-mail message to him today and await his reply. Upon receipt, we will advise on his availability and willingness to serve in this matter.

    As you are aware, Mr. Griffith was former Solicitor-General of Australia, former arbitrator with experience in international disputes for cases involving Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Marshall Islands and others.

    Our office will keep the parties posted. Thank you for your kind attention.

Sincerely,

[signed]
