The only difference between the 1997 and 2007 versions of this law is  
the change from "Zonal Authorities" to "Regulating Authorities". The  
comment refers, I believe, to the wording of the election in the 1997  
laws, in which the ACBL BoD delegated authority to authorize the use  
of bidding boxes to Sponsoring Organizations. 2007 Law 80A3  
specifically allows this kind of delegation - it also allows the ACBL  
to *assign* this power, thus washing its hands of the matter in those  
organizations to which the power is assigned.
