I didn't see a response to my last comment on the previous series so I 
just left it in for this series.
The notifier usage is consistent with the GHES code for SCI errors which 
are also only used a single
time in the code. If you think making the call directly is a better 
option I will remove the notifiers.

Sorry, I will expand these.
