[BC] LMAs - How Far Can They Go?

[Mike McCarthy]

I think the question's primary intent is to determine if there has been any 
willful acts which the applicant had direct command and control of the 
decisions surrounding the incident in his/her professional capacity.  Not 
as an experimenting high schooler.

However, they do permit the applicant to explain the circumstances, etc. so 
as to permit the membership committee to better analyze the person's 
credentials.
