If the change has not come from ICAO all UK CAA/DfT masters are doing is making their own PC decode of the a commonly used term.
ICAO Doc 8400, which specifies approved abbreviations, provides a somewhat convoluted decode of NOTAM, which describes what it contains, with no refererence to "airmen".
I suspect that the commonly used term will live on internationally well after all the PC CAA/DfT mandarins have departed the fix. Can only speculate on the number of man hours, sorry person hours, wasted by them to come up with this nonsense.
