Your model contract would impose that sort of practical overhead for any routine official action that is not by the Chair. >A broken contract can easily be fixed by proposal. Not an enticing scenario. Also runs into constitutional problems regarding consent to contract, as in fact does your rule text generally. > The Notary already >tracks public contracts, so a new system of recordkeeping is not >required. The notary hasn't done anything so far. This is an untried system. You're talking about one public contract per office, which makes quite a lot of contracts for the notary to track. Also for everyone else to pay attention to. Eleven(?) nearly-identical contracts are going to make it difficult to find the relevant bits. We'll all be wading through partnership boilerplate that should have been factored out into a rule. > Plus, I thought part of the fun would be to impose >regulations upon future officers through the use of the contract. I think that's a bad idea. If we want to control how officers fulfill their duties we should do this as by general agreement, as we already can by proposal. It shouldn't be at the whim of the current officer. -zefram
