[802SEC] RE: Sponsor Policies and Procedures
Geoff,
Do you know what day next week would be the appropriate day to raise
this. I'll probably try to attend the SA meeting on that day since it
is local for me. I do think we should discuss it with them.
Thanks,
Mat

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.
