I'll bet you $20 they won't do that. If the FAQ are part of the Policy, they need to remove the section of the policy that explicitly states that the Policy is the “final, complete and exclusive statement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof” (Section E.7).

I responded to your comment on my blog, saying "Hi Edward, I checked with OCLC's legal department before making the statement [about the FAQs] at the ALCTS Forum. They said that any legal interpretation of the revised policy would include the statements in the FAQ and it would be very difficult for OCLC not to stand by them. In any case, now that the Review Board is in place, we do not know the policy will look like in the end and how it will relate to an FAQ document." Karen Hi Ed,
