As far as I can tell, no infraction was actually committed here. R2202 prohibits two things, neither of which appears to have happened: * It prohibits certain uses of Ratification Without Objection, but Goren did not successfully use the rule. * It prohibits certain announcements of intent to use Ratification Without Objection. This is most naturally interpreted as (and was probably meant as) "tabling an intent to use" Ratification Without Objection, which Goren didn't do. It can be interpreted using the natural-language definition of "announce intent", in which case Goran announced intention to use rule 2202 "Ratification Without Objection", but did not announce intent to use the process of Ratification Without Objection, and it seems to me that the rule should be interpreted as referring to the process rather than the rule. Because there was no infraction committed, the attempt to note it failed and I have nothing to investigate. -- ais523 Referee
