(For points 1 & 2): Submission of every single piece of correspondence is not necessary; rather, generic thank-you notes, invoices, letters, etc. should serve as guidelines for both purposes of documentation and communication. In addition, approval of said documents may be either by official vote, yeah or nay; consensus of the majority; or "second of motion".
(For point 3): However, major changes in proposals for the Practices Manual will require an official approval by the Executive Board. Consult current PAM Practices Manual Editor prior to implementing any changes.
