# request_owner_signoff

Return the page to give the promise's named owner so they can sign off ONE act, and the name of the person who has to be the one to sign it. This asks; it never acts, and it never signs. Call it when the person you are talking to has asked for an act you do not have a code for, or when a code was refused.
