 “Any amends project must benefit the org and be beyond routine duties. It may not only benefit the individual. Offers to “get audited at own expense in Review” are acceptable as auditing will benefit everyone.

“To get trained at own expense up to ________ and serve the org two years afterwards” is acceptable amends. But the person’s staff pay is also suspended entirely during any auditing or training undertaken as amends. “To get another department’s files in order on my own time” would be acceptable amends. Getting a celebrity into Scientology would be acceptable amends. No work one would normally do himself on post is acceptable amends. A donation or fine would not be acceptable amends. Doing what one should do anyway is not amends, it is the expected. No org funds may be employed in an amends project.”
