Plain and simple.
We can agree or disagree about the language of the PWA and if it does or does not need to be changed, but what that does not do is change the language DAL is contractually held to. There is not non-compliance until the end of the cure period.
Too bad we didn't bring in some outside consultants to point out to the NC how this language was ripe for abuse. Oh, forgot, we did this on purpose because in-house expertise can and will not be out done. Those silly Fortune 500 companies could learn a thing or two about wasting money on consultants.
