We either work out a consensual approach or just agree.. to do nothing is
also fine...in all cases there should always be a  positive takeaway.

Section  13.4 uses the expression “affected blocks”
Your text suggestion makes it clearer and we will consider it.

with focus on audit caused by reports to avoid abuse..
You have a good point here too. Adding this limit to random  review makes
sense.
