[802SEC] Fwd: Sponsor Policies and Procedures




Mat-

My most strict read of this is that, every time we formally effect a change 
to the LMSC P&P, we have to submit our updated/current P&P and then can not 
submit a PAR until we get an OK back -OR- a six month time expires.

This procedure seems to be not well thought out with respect to the P&P of 
a highly active group (such as ours) whose P&P are under continuous 
improvement. The worst case effect of this could be that we could only put 
changes into effect once a year and could only submit PARs during a window 
that was open 6 months after that until the next rule change date.

I doubt that the SA intended this policy to be that restrictive.

Paul/Howard-

We should probably mention this at ProCom/AudCom and the SA-SB next week.
