Specific suggestions about limiting the availability of services that the actuary should agree to provide based on whether the client contracts for an additional level or types of service (for example, agreeing to provide a ratemaking product only if the client agrees to contract for other actuarial services);

Any suggestion that an actuary should refuse to provide a particular actuarial service, or to work for a particular employer or client;
