Ineffective. Proposal effects are instantaneous, not continuous.

What is unknown about the current set of CFJs?

I don't think this is necessary, since a partnership must be a public
contract to register. Changes to a public contract must be published
to take effect, so how could its basis or text be ambiguously known.

Backing documents define assets, not partnerships.

It seems like it would be much simpler to legislate that contracts
must be generally unambiguous than to go inserting the word into every
other rule.

Making it a contract change doesn't prevent the contract from doing
automatically. Also, this would allow parties to contracts to flip
the status on and off at will, which conflicts with the definition in
R2191. R2191 wins precedence, but it's still good practice to avoid
the conflict in the first place.

The possible values should be restricted to those first-class players
who are actually party to the contract.

A public contract is a contest if and only if its contestmaster
is not 'none'. The Scorekeepor's report includes the
contestmaster of each contest.

"immediately before". The "immediately" is important.
