+=+ I apologize for not having followed this topic closely.
However, seeking to refresh my mind, may I ask whether it 
has been settled that:

1. The Director having been called Law 9B2 applies.
2. When he arrives, the 1S bid on the table being insufficient,
the Director will apply Law 27.

(I have not seen it said that the offender actually changed his 
bid before the Director arrived. I may have missed such a 
statement when deleting numbers of messages.)
