New RKC Snatch Standards, is this true?

I have found some blogs referencing this but can't find it on DD site. So I am asking my RKC friends, is this true?

New RKC Snatch Standrads

-You will be given 5min to complete the test.
-You are allowed to make as many hand switches as you wish. The sum of both arms is scored.
-You are allowed to set the kettlebell down and rest.
-You are allowed to make multiple back swings.

*All other previous standards still apply.
