Forms Registry Keyspace Collision — Duplicate Series Claim
During a registry consolidation exercise, Form 32-A (“Routine Access Adjustment Request”) and Form 32-A (“Directive Impact Self-Assessment”) were both discovered to occupy the same series identifier in the central catalog.
Historically, each office had maintained its own private 32-A template and assumed the number referred exclusively to its local meaning; the shared keyspace was only exposed when the auto-suggestion engine began recommending forms cross-departmentally.
Once the duplication was surfaced, new filings for 32-A began randomly attaching one template or the other based on minor phrasing differences in the request text, resulting in several access changes being processed as self-assessments and several self-assessments being treated as binding permissions.
Kindy proposed renumbering both forms and issuing Form 32-A-R (“Retroactive Intent Clarification”) to all affected filers, but this would have required admitting that the registry had ever been uncertain, which COMA regarded as continuity-negative.
The Canonical Series Review Board is still reviewing which 32-A deserves to remain 32-A; until a ruling is issued, filers are encouraged to attach explanatory notes stating which outcome they were hoping for, so at least the record of disappointment can be precise.
