Ok, I now understand.  And we intentionally did not want to specify timing, so long as this stuff is evaluated prior to committing.  We started down that road and realized we were micromanaging.

I apologize.  My note could have been better formed.

The principle is this: will it impact our participants or operations?  If yes, then you should take it into account.  If no, then you should not.  It should go without saying that LGBTQ+ participants deserve the same safety and security consideration as others.

A country’s overall HR posture often entails matters that do not impact our participants. When we decide on that basis, we are making a political statement; and that is a non-objective.
