The power to perform what action?
*An* action, just as I wrote. [snip some comments]
From some of your comments I get the (distinct, but perhaps incorrect)
impression that you believe that I use ``protoproposal'' as a synonym for ``final draft''. I don't. Since Kolja is gone, I may be the last of the slow players. One of my current protos has been in (admittedly not continuous) development for nearly two years. The ruleset will be completely different by the time I get around to proposing this, so just let me have my fun, okay?

Some may think so; others may not. That's why I included the comment [This translates transitivity into temporal terms.] just above the rule you quoted. I don't think it hurts to include redundancy in the rules, especially consequences that might not be obvious for people who don't think about binary relations all the time, or who don't believe that static properties of binary relations apply to dynamic legal relations. Too many cases turn on interpretation of irredundant writing.
The partnerships define their own means for the partners to act on their behalf. Don't need executorships for this.
You can't use extra-Agoran means to define ways to perform actions within Agora. You can only use extra-Agoran means to define ways to attempt to perform actions within Agora; you need a friend on the inside for them to work. -- C. Maud Image (Michael Slone) Write something up.
