They are not, as far as I know: dango, please do not read my hide tags in the future. I haven't put anything actually useful in there yet, but that'll definitely happen later.

To make the rule clear - We are not allowed to tell our little brothers anything which could possibly be useful to them in deciding a move or to influence their moves in any way other than making corrections.

This seems forced to me, although I've been told in another thread that it isn't. The idea behind this move comes straight from my reading of Opening Made Easy: to avoid an extension from a corner enclosure. This way if black still extends, he can not extend as far, and we can still live on the right side.
Since black's extension is worth a lot, being an extension from both corners, stopping it is also worth a lot.

If there was an earlier hidden post that's me-appropriate, you can just post it without hide tags, I think.

I changed the labels a little bit, now that we can use parentheses (woo!).

This is what I expect:

Not actually sure where is best for white to finish, but I'm positive White needs to add a move somewhere, and then we get a move on the left side. I'm trying to think in advance about how we can attack W if white tenukis... R12, probably?

Observers.
I am split on whether or not to approve this move. I'm leaning towards changing it, because I refuse to follow jts's posted sequence and would definitely change that anyway (It is necessary to invade white's enclosure, otherwise white becomes unbelievably thick). Hopefully I can force one of their big brothers to make a change so they don't get +5 corrections on us.

Awww. :blackeye: I'm not sure whether Shaddy doesn't like this because I made a mistake, or because there's something about global considerations that makes this move preferable, or whether it just fits in with his style more. W has to extend, I think, which leaves W with a supposedly good move at "a" later.

For :b9: (assuming :w8: as below) I'm considering b, c, and d. C is just the wedge; if they get that point, it will probably become necessary to invade at some point, and then we'll spend the rest of the game dealing with the influence W gets. B is meant to work with :b7: ... :b7: is a very loose enclosure, especially with W's right-side group so near, but adding another stone in the corner seems slow and overconcentrated. With "b", my goal would be that if W approaches the corner we already have a stone where one of us wants an extension. D... maybe I need to think about "d" more. Originally I was thinking that if we get to jump back to k4 or k3 we're in very good shape on the bottom, but I can't decide how I would respond to the pincer - jump out or take the corner?
