Mr. Chairman, the reason why we redid the guidelines is, previously there was a policy but it was applied in different ways to different people. According to the circumstances, we felt that we should make it clear so everyone gets treated the same way and fairly. Each time, previously, if someone quit or something happened, you negotiated it out. This way, it is very clear what an individual is entitled to. There was a policy before, but the way it was applied varied very extensively.
