The following topics or subjects are outside the scope of permitted discussions. All participants should refrain from making remarks or references regarding the following:
- Current or future prices (the only safe policy is to avoid any mention whatsoever of prices - even of past prices).

- Standardization or stabilization of prices.
- Pricing procedures, including wholesalers’ margins, markups, cost percentages, formulas or policies for arriving at prices, or brokers’ fees or commissions.
