Rule 8.5 Advisory opinions

If the Panel determines that an advisory opinion should be issued, counsel to the Panel shall provide such research as is necessary and shall draft an opinion to submit for Panel review. The draft of the advisory opinion letter must be assigned to an agenda of a subsequent meeting of the Panel for a vote pursuant to Rule 4 before issuance. After this vote but before issuance an advisory opinion letter may be edited for style or to correct grammatical or clerical error but no substantive changes may be made.
