Having this documentation to point to could be very useful for resolving future misunderstandings.<BR/><BR/><I>Our intentions are somewhere in the middle of these. Yes, the word "every" in the rule is very strong, but it would be overly complicated to write down the exact line which behaviour should qualify as violation of XIX.G., so we felt that it was best to leave this interpretation to the parties involved.</I><BR/><BR/>I can see the logic in not writing a rule that gives an exhaustive list of prohibitive behaviors. However, the phrase 'make very effort' doesn't really reflect the in-the-middle interpretation that you just explained. By changing the phrase to 'make a reasonable effort', 'make a legitimate effort', or 'make a serious effort', the rule could still be simple, and leave room for interpretation, but also be more reflective of the SRC's intent.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457714110581659691noreply@blogger.com
