From the transcript

The reason, I think it's kind of important to understand the reasoning that Attorney Lee is talking about is that the Board of Game had a lawsuit on Malchatna Caribou and the Board of Game had amended a proposal at the table and then we got sued by the public saying there wasn't an opportunity to review that regulatory language prior to going into an effect.
