 #### Timeouts
 
 Any of the RPCs defined in this spec MAY timeout and MAY be retried.
-The CO MAY chooses the maximum time it is willing to wait for a call,
-how long it waits between retries, and how many time it retries (these
-values are not negotiated between plugin and CO).
-
-Idempotency requirements ensure that a retried call with the same fields
-continues where it left off when retried. The only way to cancel a call
-is to issue a "negation" call if one exists (for example, issue a
-`ControllerUnpublishVolume` call to cancel a pending
-`ControllerPublishVolume` operation, etc.). In some cases, a CO MAY not
-be able to cancel a pending operation, because it depends on the result
-of the pending operation in order to execute the "negation" call (for
-example, if a `CreateVolume` call never completes, a CO may not have the
-`volume_id` to call `DeleteVolume` with).
