I submit the following proposal (Executive Solution AI=3
coauthors=ais523, Murphy):
[Rather than try to write auctions and such into the rules, we can
outsource it to administrative regulations. This also allows for more
flexibility to experiment -- maybe we want to try a raffle instead, or
perhaps just incinerate the assets. Additionally, different potential
approaches could lead to elections actually decided based on policy!]
Create a rule titled "The Executor" with power 2 reading:
The Executor is an elected office responsible for managing assets
in the Lost and Found Department.
The Executor SHOULD maintain administrative regulations
specifying how e will manage such assets. The Executor is
ENCOURAGED to draft eir administrative regulations such that any
actions e takes to manage such assets occur no less frequently
than quarterly.
Amend rule 2576 (Ownership) by replacing the text reading:
An asset "in abeyance" is one whose owner is nonexistent,
indeterminate, or invalid. If an asset would otherwise be in
abeyance, then it is owned by the Lost and Found Department (if
possible) or destroyed (otherwise), subject to modification by its
backing document (provided that the modification either destroys
it or prevents it from being in abeyance). Rules to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Lost and Found Department can own assets of
every type. Assets owned by the Lost and Found Department can be
transferred or destroyed by any player without objection.

regulations.
Amend rule 2659 (Stamps) by removing the text reading:
Any player CAN pay a fee of 6 Spendies to transfer a specified
stamp from the L&FD to emself.
