Removing proposals from the Proposal Pool is not a Rule Change and, when an instrument (as opposed to a person) is doing it, is not subject to any clear specification requirements. That made me look something up, though-- how exactly does ratification of the ruleset work again? The Rule Changes involved are generally not clearly specified, no rule allows Rule 1551 (Ratification) to make Rule Changes specifically, and Rule 105 (Rule Changes) takes precedence over it. I seem to remember there was a CFJ about it though.
