(f) publish reports, recommendations, and other information relating to any functions of the Trust.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of subsection (2), where any land has been transferred to the Trust by way of gift, the board shall not dispose of that land by way of sale or exchange unless it has first offered the land, on such terms and conditions as the board thinks fit, to the donor or (in the case of a gift of Maori land) to the descendants of the donor.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3), the descendants of a donor of Maori land shall be determined by order of the Maori Land Court.
