  2. Title protection
  3. A ban on any unregistered forest work at all
  4. Voluntary certification by a learned society
Answer and working

  1. Only say yes after meetings
  2. Only comment, not decide
  3. Delegate the decision to the company
  4. Say yes, no or yes with conditions
Answer and working

D. Say yes, no or yes with conditions
