this made me think - not sure if this has been brought up in the past - statute of limitations on PL inclusion? that is, shouldn't rule 2(a) be amended to include a time limit? one month etc as a max?
Currently:
2) Notification on the Probation Discussion Thread
a) After the 30 Day Rule is fulfilled, the accuser will send a PM to the accused informing them the issue is being submitted to the Probation Discussion Thread for their inclusion in the PL. This should be a new PM and not part of an existing PM chain.
Proposed?

Frankly, that's not really the best proposed language.
This would actually dissuade people from working out difficulties, delays and other issues on their own and force their hand to include someone on a PL nomination even if they are in the midst of working out the transaction difficulties on their own and outside the public eye.
I don't see any need for such a short time period and I don't believe it serves the equities of transaction completion nor the protection of buyer's rights, which is at the heart of the probation list origins.
At the risk of supreme irony, the PL rules have been way over-lawyered. It's kind of ridiculous the hoops required to jump through to nominate someone nowadays.
