I certainly wouldn't read it that way.  Each sentence modifies the one before it.  You enter what's from the cover, then if there isn't anything on the cover  you enter from the booklet, and then if there isn't anything on the cover and there isn't a booklet, then you just enter a list of the contents. 

You don't write your own overview, which is allowed for movies that have none.

Agree with Danae Cassandra on this. Don't read to much into it, GSyren.

Since each sentence modifies the previous one, you could also read it as if the overview didn't have individual descriptions on the cover but had something else instead, you'd just enter nothing at all.

And nobody wants that.

Since Ken will never be available to modify the rules again, we have to operate on what makes the most logical sense.

The box set overview rule is an addendum to the standard rule for overviews (re: "The following Clarifications to the standard Rules need to be used:"). The first sentence is not superfluous because the standard rule only covered a simple listing of the collection contents.

The correct process is use the overview from the cover (standard rule), followed by, if applicable, the box set rule.

The end result is what Danae Cassandra described.

Why would he never be able to modify the rules again? Not saying that he would, but why can't he?

I had the same thought? Not being around is not dead.

I'm believe Ken is now completely hands off.  That he pays the bills and that's it.  I worded it poorly, but never being around means he is never available.  Sure, he could modify the rules, but that would require him to be here.  Until anything points otherwise, I will operate under the hypothesis with the most evidence - Ken will never be available.

It's the same thing I tell callers at my work who ask to speak to the owner.  They will never speak to the owner.  I've worked for the company for 20 years; I've never met him.  He's completely hands off.  Sure, he could get involved; he's not dead.  But everything for 20 years of my job says he's not going to.

That is correct. It is even covered in the rules. If you look at the Introduction to the rules it has it there...

Note: The standard rules do apply for these special cases; the sections clarify specific ways the rules apply to box sets and television series on DVD.

not sure how you say the rules don't make that clear with the quote from the rules I provided. It is in the introduction of the rules themself. Just confused by that statement because the rules makes that exact statement... "Note: The standard rules do apply for these special cases; the sections clarify specific ways the rules apply to box sets and television series on DVD."
