    Hmmm, reviewed them but not sure what can be said.  DCU doesn't make
    participation loans anymore.

Are there documented rules in place that prohibit participation loans ?

or is it that is the unwritten rules ?

How is this enforced ?

    My personal opinion follows:
    
    They are not written in the Bylaws if that is what you mean.  As a
    member of DCU, I would prefer to have it stated in the Bylaws that the
    funds of the credit union cannot be invested/loaned in this manner.
    
    Or if they are, that the amounts be limited to helping credit unions
    get started and the amount of participation be limited to a very low
    percentage to spread out the risk with other CUs.  I believe this was
    the original purpose of these types of loans.  There is a world of
    difference between helping others get 'booted' and financing commercial
    developers.

    The review seems to have taken place but I'm unaware of any findings
    being reported to members.
