My current view is that this is consistent with the newly reiterated CFJ on
clarity.

Under the current text of the Rule, the intended action must be clear and
unambiguous, but there is not any current requirement that the
*announcement of intent* itself be made clearly or conspicuously. The new
proposal should address that, but I think this apathy declaration might
have worked in the meantime...

Anyone else have a view?
