1. Calls on the producers of The Hobbit to meet with representatives of the NZ Actors' Equity to discuss the arrangements under which NZ Actors' Equity will recommend performers work on the production The Hobbit,

2. Calls on the producers of The Hobbit to have good faith negotiations with representatives of NZ Actors' Equity concerning the arrangements pursuant to which NZ Actors' Equity will recommend performers work on the production The Hobbit; and

3. Recommends that all performers wait before accepting any engagement on the production of The Hobbit until the production has advised whether it will enter into good faith negotiations with NZ Actors' Equity with respect to the minimum conditions of engagement under which NZ Actors' Equity will recommend performers work on the production The Hobbit, including minimum fees, conditions of engagement, professional protections and residuals.
