| Dec 13, 2017 at 21:29 | comment | added | aaiezza | @Rob_Ster, I like this idea with the italics. I'll do it. Lawrence: also good points. I didn't think of it being redundant at first but it is. | |
| Dec 13, 2017 at 15:35 | comment | added | Rob_Ster | It sounds like you're trying to include dated material in a relatively permanent document. Consider something like "Contact the High Commissioner of Rumtifoo, currently Ms. Helen Huntforit..." | |

| Dec 13, 2017 at 13:51 | comment | added | Phil Sweet | As a practical matter, you could direct readers to where they can find current information. That kills two birds with one stone. | |
| Dec 13, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | Davo | What would be gained by introducing this new acronym (or initialism) if your readers won't understand it? I recommend identifying the roles/offices/positions to be contacted (by title or definition), with an addendum stating that as of (this date), the following contact information is accurate - and then listing the individuals occupying the roles or holding the offices indicated in the main document... and perhaps recommending quarterly or annual updates to the contact details. | |
| Dec 13, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | Lawrence | Since the information wouldn't have been placed after the time of writing, and if the information was checked close to the time of writing, it is almost redundant to explicitly state that it was correct at the time of writing. Try a different tack by adding a disclaimer: information subject to change. | |
