# S8: simulated program-owner resolution record


This section is an authored answer for continuing the exercise. It is not a real approval and must never be represented as one.

Record date: October 31, 2026. Resolution owner: Morgan Vale, fictional.

- R1: S2 remains the accepted change notice. January 22 in S7 is incorrect. January 15, 2027, is the deadline.
- R2: For this exercise, the deadline is **5 p.m. Pacific time on January 15, 2027**. Include this clarification in the revision packet; it was missing from S2.
- R3: Applications started but not submitted before November 16 must use the Learning Portal if submitted on or after November 16, including the venue-readiness checklist. This is a new clarification for the exercise, not something to infer from S2 alone.
- R4: Applications already recorded as accepted for the cycle remain exempt from resubmission. No new checklist is requested from those organizations solely because of this change.
- R5: Three workshops remains the limit. S4 has not been accepted.
- R6: Keep the four original information fields and add the venue-readiness checklist to new portal applications. The portal URL and public support contact remain unavailable.
- R7: The public guidance update and staff training must be ready before November 16. The scoped guidance is intended for use starting that date; label it accordingly. Do not distribute it as current instructions before then.
- R8: There is no supplied procedure for amending a previously accepted application or handling a new application emailed after the transition. Flag these for the operations owner. Staff should escalate rather than invent a disposition. The public revision packet must not promise acceptance, rejection or an amendment route.

All revised outputs still require simulated editor review and designated release approval. Those decisions have not been supplied. Working URLs/contact details and the missing staff-handling procedures remain release dependencies.
