This is still rife with ambiguities.  After much consideration, I
suggest the following more radical revision:

3. Any message sent with the good-faith expectation that it will be
   received by all PEPs counts as being sent to, and via, "the Emergency
   Forum".  The Emergency Coordinator shall make a reasonable effort
   (posting to all Public Fora and Discussion Fora counts) to inform
   all PEPs of at least one Forum suitable for this purpose, preferably
   a Public Forum; if e does not do so within 24 hours, then any PEP may
   do so, thus becoming the new Emergency Coordinator.

Ending?

This part (starting with "If all current Emergency procedures") should
be moved out of step 9 and into a new paragraph.

An Emergency starts on (P >= 5 or P-C >= 4), but stops on (P < 5 or
P-C < 3).  It should probably stop on (P < 5 and P-C < 4), instead.
