Yes, but that was just shorthand. I said "until at least", and that means "until then and quite possibly even after", and it switches from "allowed" to "willing" in the "possibly even after" part.

It would have a more complicated sentence to say "not allowed until it's re-certified, and then not necessarily willing after it's re-certified".

Besides, it's still "willing" in the sense they're not willing to do what's not allowed, isn't it?
