Good question. I believe that a PNM would still be considered as maximizing options even if they didn't "regret with interest." At the time they declined the invitation, they were still going to be returning to a full schedule of parties for that phase. Also, not every chapter is able and/or willing to re-invite someone who previously "declined with regret."

I just flipped through my copy of the Green Book, but it doesn't address that issue. (Didn't really expect it to, but thought I'd check anyhow. )
