Proto-Proposal: When Am I?
Create a rule titled "When Am I?" with this text:
A message's Date: header is generally a reasonably accurate
measure of the time of its publication. A person alleging
that such a header is significantly inaccurate SHOULD clearly
identify which date-stamp e believes is most accurate, and why.

Proto-Proposal: Judicial switches
(AI = 2, please)
comex is a co-author of this proposal.
Amend Rule 2162 (Switches) by replacing this text:
c) Exactly one officer who tracks instances of that switch.
That officer's report includes the value of each instance of
that switch whose value is not its default value.
with this text:
c) Exactly one officer who tracks instances of that switch.
That officer's report includes the value of each instance of
that switch whose value is not its default value, though it
need not include low-priority instances.
and by replacing this text:
If an instance of a switch would otherwise fail to have a
possible value, it comes to have its default value.
with this text:
If an instance of a switch would otherwise fail to have a
possible value, it comes to have its default value; however,
if a switch is defined by the rules as sticky, and its current
value ceases to be a possible value, then it remains at that
value anyway until otherwise changed.
Amend Rule 1868 (Judge Assignment Generally) by replacing this text:
At any time, a judicial case either has no judge assigned to it
(default) or has exactly one entity assigned to it as judge;
this is a persistent status that changes only according to the
rules. To recuse a judge from a case means to deassign em as
judge. To assign a judge to a case implicitly recuses any
existing judge. A recusal is without cause unless stated
otherwise in the rules.
At any time, a judicial case either does not require a judge
(default) or requires a judge; this is not a persistent status,
but is evaluated instantaneously.
with this text:
A judicial case requires a judge only while the rules say it
does.
Assignment is a sticky judicial case switch, tracked by the
Clerk of the Courts, with values null (default) and the set of
all entities qualified to be so assigned; by default, this set
is the set of all active first-class players. The assignment
of a closed case is low-priority.
To assign a judge to a case is to flip that case's assignment
to that judge. To recuse a judge from a case is to flip that
case's assignment from that judge to another value (null if
not otherwise specified); the recusal is with cause only if
the rules say it is.
and by removing this text:
Except where modified by other rules, the entities qualified to
be assigned as judge of a judicial case are the active
first-class players. Being unqualified to be assigned as a
judge does not inherently prevent an entity from continuing to
be judge if already assigned.
Amend Rule 2158 (Judicial Questions) by replacing this text:
Within a judicial case, one or more judicial questions may
arise. Each judicial question is either inapplicable (default)
or applicable; this is not a persistent status but is evaluated
instantaneously. Each judicial question either is open
(default), suspended, or has a particular judgement; this is a
persistent status that changes only according to the rules. The
possible types of judgement for a judicial question vary
according to the type of question.
with this text:
Each judicial question that arises within a judicial case is
applicable only while the rules say it is.
Decision is a judicial question switch, tracked by the Clerk of
the Courts, with values open (default), suspended, and the set
of all values defined by the rules as valid for the type of
question. The decision of a judicial question within a closed
case is low-priority.
[No revision of "Decriminalization" at this time; the rules already
specify UNAWARE as appropriate for unintentional violation.]

Proto-Proposal: Fix OVERLOOKED
(AI = 1.7, please)
Ivan Hope and Pavitra are co-authors of this proposal.
Amend Rule 1504 (Criminal Cases) by replacing this text:
* OVERLOOKED, appropriate if the alleged act allegedly occurred
at least 200 days before the case was initiated
with this text:
* OVERLOOKED, appropriate if the initiating announcement alleged
a rule breach at least 200 days before the case was initiated
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proto-Proposal: The Historian
Quazie is a co-author of this proposal.
Create a rule titled "The Historian" with this text:
The Historian is a low-priority office; its holder is responsible
for summarizing significant actions. The Historian's monthly
report includes such a summary.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, Murphy is installed as Historian.
