The burden of reasonableness is mentioned at the start of section 3.4, but in context of all partners.\r\n\r\nAs for staying within the meaning of \"interpret\", it's ultimately up to the Secretary of the Anchor Circle to decide what the meaning of \"interpret\" is and thus it's not a meaningful constraint.\r\n\r\nI do agree that escalating the resolution of the conflict is a possible means of dealing with this issue.  However, I also think that allowing a single person to DOS the entire organization is a flaw that could be addressed in version 5.0."}}
