[blml] EBU White Book & WBF LC minutes [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[WILLIAM SCHODER]

Kojak further quibbles.  The White Book, David's quotes and explanations,
and even Grattan's voluminous book written with Hansen years ago have weight
and authority within the EBL, but to transfer these helpful documents into
universal interpretations of the WBF laws is an exercise in either
intentional or unknowing forgetfulness that there are other Regulating
Authorities with similar but not same documents in force in their realms.
Let's keep the delineation between Rules and Regulations (RA authority) and
Laws interpretation (WBFLC authority) separated.
