"As a result, it is possible for PBS to award RES days on Sept 1-2 which would give the pilot 11 consecutive RES days. This is both FAR and Contractually compliant and only requires a 24 hour break in duty in any 7 day period" Nothing about a phone call though, seems to me that they would have to put rest on your schedule somewhere to make you legal. Hopefully someone will be able to come up with a better answer.
I'm not sure they have to actually call you, but it's likely they will. They may actually assign you rest, & it probably WON'T be a calendar day but more than likely a specific 24 hr period like 0800 30JUN- 0800 01JUL.
They'll get to the assignment, but right now are likely busy covering open time & assigning SC's.
