Hi Lee,
No I haven't contacted JHL (not being an ILCA member) but I know that others 
have. I don't know what their policy is on acceptance of advertising from 
Code violators. I think that many organisations are finding such situations 
difficult when companies that previously acted ethically (meaning that they 
marketed their products within the Code) no longer do so. This is especially 
the case when such companies provided significant financial support to 
organisations....but IMO either the Code is the minimum standard or it is 
not. A company cannot breach the Code "a little bit" (just like a woman 
cannot be a little bit pregnant). It's going to be interesting to see how 
different organisations deal with this.
