IF a CAC coin will not cross to PCGS from NGC should a PCGS coins with a plus automatically get a CAC sticker?

this is a huge let down
I think I'm confused.

In a MS65 holder a 65.0 coin should get no sticker and a 65.4 coin should get a sticker.
In a MS65+ holder a 65.5 should get no sticker and a 65.9 should get a sticker.
The flip side of this is that NGC crosses only about 40% or less of PCGS coins. Therefore shouldn't NGC CAC coins automatically get a PCGS + ?
Is there a published definition of what this new "+" signifies on the mint state or proof scale? My gut feel says that a 65.7, 65.8, and 65.9 coins would all qualify...maybe even a 65.6 as well.

Why does one need to buy an NGC coin, then send it to CAC, then cross it to PCGS, and now hope to get a plus and then send it to CAC?
If it is plastic with the CAC sticker that is desired just buy it to begin with.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

JA has already responded to this, with his March 12 Press Release.
Excerpt: ..."According to Albanese, CAC will continue to evaluate submissions, and determine whether to award stickers to those coins, strictly in the context of the basic numerical grades assigned by either PCGS or NGC. He said it will disregard any additional descriptive words or symbols."...
The "+" will not be considered, only the underlying numerical grade.
PCGS makes its definition of "Plus".
The two won't necessarily be the same language, or even translate.

I have has NGC coins with a sticker not cross to PCGS so I would say of they did not cross without a plus they for sure wont get a plus.

I just started a new thread on this. If you take what PCGS says on their website at face value, it would seem than only 65.8 and 65.9 coins would qualify for the "+"
