One thing that strikes me as being notably missing from what you've got here is the evolved pragmatism that pervades much of the Agoran ruleset -- things like resolutions of decisions self-ratifying after a week, and illegal judge selections being allowed to stand in cases where it's otherwise likely to result in chain reactions of more illegal judge selections. In my opinion, these are some of the most distinctively Agoran features of the rules, so it seems substantially out of place for them to be missing from an Agora-based initial rule set. Rule 19 does have the one-week-for-challenges clause when initiating Agoran decisions, so that's a start, but these rules could use more like that. I might even go so far as to copy in the Ratification rule. -root
