The IPSC won't be making a recommendation. They determine if there's been a breach and the level of that breach. If it's not a serious breach, then they have responses available to them, like training, apologies and things like that. If they believe that it's a serious breach of the code of conduct, they make that finding and that goes to the privileges committee. They then have essentially 60 days to consider that and make a determination on a sanction.
