Simply put, (and sorry to be the bearer of bad news) the CRB will refer the matter to the ITAC. We will look a the letter, and will be forced to respond with something along the lines of (Ok as is). (We're trying to come up with a better response than that).
In short, your request is for a car that has been classed more than 5 years ago. Our mandate from the CRB is that we must honor the rules on the first two pages in the ITCS section of the GCR. Past practices have used the "errors and omissions" clause to adjust cars to align them with the standard process, but the CRB has told us that the BoD has cracked down on such actions, and that all such requests will be denied.
Sorry, I don't like it any more than any of you. Less probably.
The crux of the issue needs to be how to get the 'ban' lifted, either through a wording change or through talking with your BoD persons.
As far as I'm concerned, you guys are ostensibly my boss. But you're way up the line, and my immediate boss is the CRB, then the BoD. While I might KNOW what you want, I have to answer to them. So, we need them to change their stance. You are their boss. I just don't know what else that I can constructively add.
Summation? If you don't like current practices (or you like), send your comments to the BoD. (At this point, I'm hearing that the emails don't get through to everyone. I cc everybody directly when I can, but it's come to my attention that some of our guys in charge are old school, and emails etc don't always register. Call 'em if you don't get a response.)
