Hi everybody.
Reading the new book, a change in wordings is (slightly, not too much) puzzling me.
RRS 63.3a
in absence of a party, now the PC can "proceed with the hearing" , while before was "decise the protest"
The logic is that the hearing includes the decision, but, well, to be picky, Section B title is Hearing and Decisions (separate words, seem like the Decision be a consequence of the hearing, and not part of it).
I would not anyway make a hearing without the decision, but, question: what's the meaning of this change?

So this one I think is mostly cleanup for clarity.
