That's correct. In enquiring with Board members in the know, the PICS we
see are apparently voluntary but there is a part of the contract itself
that has another set of PICS (yes, surprising) and those are mandatory.
They are admittedly a subset of the "voluntary" PICS. I think I have
already mentioned that during an ALAC meeting in London or Singapore (or
elsewhere).
Kind regards,

Olivier
