Potential Solutions. One approach is a logical division into an archiving area and a cataloguing area (mediatec or media library). While digital originals or their equivalents are managed in the archiving area after careful digitisation — observing the recommendations of the IASA-TC 0430 wherever possible — the cataloguing area contains reorganised entities, derived from factual descriptions, so-called objects of the ‘segment’ type, e.g., a documentary. Corresponding media can be linked several times and in sections with the metadata, meaning that physical copies or copied sections can be avoided (Figure 1).

This approach should be effective since the voltage instability addressed previously is caused by real power drop from the PV. Installing distribution static compensators (DSTATCOM) can also mitigate the voltage problem.
Potential Solutions. The issue of how a contract is amended can be addressed through a range of options, including, for example, the following: • Terms that allow amendment only by the signed, written agreement of both parties. Amendment only by mutual assent is the most preferred way of addressing some of the concerns associated with a payor’s unilateral right to amend the underlying agreement. Although this language addresses how an amendment can be implemented, it is also necessary to consider if failing to agree to the amendment has any other consequences. For example, does a provider’s refusal to agree to a proposed amendment constitute the provider’s notice to terminate the agreement? At a minimum, it is reasonable for a provider to insist that the contract require the payor to provide advance notice of an amendment, and to expressly state that the provider can terminate the agreement if the amendment is implemented. • Terms that allow the agreement to be amended by the payor upon a period of written notice, unless the provider raises an objection to the amendment. If the provider fails to object during that period, the amendment will be deemed to have been accepted by the provider. If the contract does not already provide for sufficient notice or termination rights, terms that allow a provider to object and “opt out” of an amendment are better than being bound to amendments without any recourse. It is important to ensure that the terms clearly express the parties’ intention that an “opt out” may occur. Such terms also make it imperative that providers monitor announced amendments and make timely objections. Finally, as noted above, the provider must also be cognizant of any implications from expressing its desire to reject or opt out of a proposed amendment (e.g., does such action constitutes the provider’s intent to terminate the agreement). • Terms that allow an agreement to be amended by the payor with advance notice, but any amendment that results in a material, adverse change to the terms may be objected to by the provider. If a payor insists upon a right to implement unilateral amendments, an alternative option is to seek the right to object to just those changes that are material and adverse to the provider. Using this approach, a payor is free to make unilateral amendments so long as they do not result in a material change to the terms of the agreement. Careful attention must be given to how “material” is defined in the agreement, and also whether the provider i...
