Offline, a question was asked, "What makes a natural 2NT response to a
weak-two bid alertable in the ACBL?"  I see now that the alert chart
is vague (at best) on this.

Nevertheless, Rich Colker (etc.) in case 51 of Toronto 2001 is totally
clear that 2NT natural should be alerted, and both the director and
panel adjusted the score due to MI from the nonalert:  "ACBL
regulations do, in fact, require an Alert if 2NT is non-forcing."
