The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer partners' national strategic planning reports were released in late 2021, including the US Astro2020 findings and recommendations. This paper is a two-part summary of the project's response to the reports’ recommendations. The first part incorporates additional considerations due to the State of Hawai’i House Bill 2024 and its new Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, and their effects on the Maunakea Observatories and MSE, specifically. The second part summarizes the national strategic planning recommendations specific to MSE and states our plan to progress MSE as we prepare to enter the next project phase. The stated plan in the second part of this paper describes our programmatic planning within the partnership for public outreach, technology development, and risk mitigation in response to the national strategic planning recommendations including community-based engagement related to the renewal of the Canada, France and Hawai’i Telescope (CFHT) site lease under the new authority. Since the Maunakea Master Lease renewal process is replaced by separate negotiations for individual observatory site leases, the paper also highlights our approach to secure continuous access to Maunakea for MSE.
