Repeat the verb?

[Nancy Allison]

Please note: a bulleted list is not permissible in this document. It's not the style. And, because the document is describing complex regulatory requirements and relationships, sentences tend to be dense and full. I rewrite the worst, and I consider this sentence to be borderline, but I'm going to leave it as is. There's too much else to do on the doc in the time I have.

Having provided that context, I ask you this: if you had to incorporate the following sentence as is (and not break it into two sentences, or a bulleted list, or anything else that a reasonably talented tech writer would immediately do), which version would you use? And, please tell me if you would add or remove any punctuation:

---The bank should have clear standards for the collection and modification of all elements, and should combine these elements in a manner that most effectively enables it to quantify its exposure to operational risk. 

---The bank should have clear standards for the collection and modification of all elements, and combine these elements in a manner that most effectively enables it to quantify its exposure to operational risk. 

I always want to repeat the modal auxiliary; it seems too hard to wade through the first long noun phrase and instantly remember that auxiliary when you hit the second base verb form. However, I have been informed that this type of repetition is "bad English."

Whaddya say?
