 I want to know if you are aware of the precise case that your 
 acceptance of this definition would indicate should exist. Hence my 
 construct 'are you aware of this?'. Are you?

 Well, they consistently refused to even discuss the crossposting 
 issue, but after having pointed it out many dozen times in as many 
 different ways, they /eventually/ (mostly) fixed the proposed charter. 
  
 As that appears to be the only means of communication with them, what 
 option do I have on the remaining problems with the RFD.
