It was by discussion; you called CJFs 1890-1 to resolve the issue but at the time the CFJs were called it was impossible for the Speaker to assign any prerogatives whatsoever so my judgments ignored the issue of what would happen if e could assign Prerogatives but failed to do so before the beginning of the month. As the rule is written now, I could be persuaded that the Speaker CAN assign prerogatives at any time, but only for following month and not for the current month, or alternatively that assignment is only possible during the last 7 days of a month.
