While the new draft is written in a much friendlier tone, and even has

not the records moved through OCLC wires.
Hi Tim, can you cite the specific language in the document that
says/implies this? I haven't had time to look it over in depth yet,
and if you have it would be useful to keep the discussion anchored to
the text.
The previous policy said:
"An OCLC Member or Non-OCLC Member may Use or Transfer the following
without complying with this Policy: (i) a WorldCat Record designated
in WorldCat as the Original Cataloging of the OCLC Member or Non-OCLC
Member; or (ii) a bibliographic record which is not Derived from
WorldCat whether or not the OCLC Member or Non-OCLC Member adds the
OCLC control number to the record."
(p.2)
That language is not present in the new policy.
