MINUTES OF THE ACBL LAWS COMMISSION
MARRIOTT HOTEL, DETROIT, MI
MARCH 8, 2008

3. [law 40] Robb Gordon will circulate a proposal to address
misinformation and misbid concerns of forgetting one's methods
in instances where the confusion caused by forgetting causes
more damage to non-forgetters rather than the forgetters.

8. [93 B 3] Once a committee renders its decision, it may not
elect to meet to reconsider the decision unless the director
has determined that the decision is illegal and does not accept
the decision.

[HvS]

Given the current state of affairs in the Netherlands I am very interested in both these points.
As for [3], is this supposed to mean a method where forgetting the method works out best for the forgetters in general, or on one particular hand? If the first I definitely want to play these methods :-), if the second would that not be contrary to the principle that an isolated misbid will never cause a score change? Anyhow, any further on this is very welcome.

As for [8], I am interested that the point that the TD can refuse an AC decision is apparently a well known phenomenon in the ACBL. It pops up its head in my country now too, because of the ways of our NAC.
