I'd expect everything is authorized to NS (the NOS), and unless the RA 
says otherwise, they can play any methods they want.

It's not so clear for EW, but I'm guessing all the cancelled calls are 
UI to them.  That will be a bit problematic, though, if NS have special 
agreements for this situation.  I suppose EW must be authorized to know 
the NS agreements for the situation but not inferences arising from the 
withdrawn passes.  That is likely to be hard to enforce, though. 
(Personally, I'd rather have the withdrawn passes AI to everyone.)
