hey there ruralflunky,
As far as I know the PO603 would probably be the official document.
You can write that up as a nonbinding resolution and just cite the PO603.
It would have to be nonbinding because it is not something the NRLCA
can implement without the cooperation of an outside party.
Keep up the good work.. I see you all over the net working on this stuff..

For example in the mail count guide it plainly states that a hold card can be given credit for either a markup or a COA if it is handled a certain way, yet the Rural analyst that came to our office would give only agree to give us actual time for setting up a hold. Other offices are only given a mark up, others are getting COA, while others only get a letter count for it. While this did turn out to be more than a markup, it was less than a COA, and everyone received a different time based on how they did it. When I submitted my disagreement my supervisor said, but I thought it was agreed that you would get actual time. I said, "In the mail count guide it says a markup or a COA depending on how it was handled. Nowhere in the mail count guide does it say actual time."
Is the Mail Count Guide considered to be the official document that explains how the Mail Count is conducted?
