This new language has my support, with a few comments: - If I’m reading this properly, the prohibition on transferring the smaller block kicks in if the larger block isn’t transferred within a year. Have we considered the option of having that restriction kick in immediately until the larger block is transferred? Or was that considered too onerous?
- I’ve noticed that officer attestation language is present in the new 8.5.5.1.1 subsection; I’m assuming this will remain in place despite the separate discussion on removing the need for officer attestations, and removed via a future policy proposal if that action is taken. Please advise if that assumption is incorrect.
