before means until you do.  the distinction between someone who will 
never obtain permission from someone who has not yet decided to 
obtain permission is much like schrodingers katz, unknowable until 
the observation of the event.  as log as they don't get in touch they 
are not able to be in breach. there is no need for distinction.
