I think it's reasonable to interpret Rule 106's "it applies those
changes" as implying "it may apply those changes", but it should be
clarified now that it's been pointed out. (Rule 105 explicitly says
that instruments can make rule changes, so no problem there.)
Proto-Proposal: Clarify Rule 106
(AI = 3, II = 3, co-author = scshunt)
Amend Rule 106 (Adopting Proposals) by replacing this text:
A proposal is a fixed body of text which has been made into a
proposal using a process specifically described in the Rules.
When creating proposals, the person who creates them SHOULD
ensure that the proposal outlines changes to be made to Agora,
such as enacting, repealing, or amending rules, or making other
explicit changes to the gamestate. When a proposal that includes
such explicit changes takes effect, it applies those changes to
the gamestate. If the proposal cannot make some such changes,
this does not preclude the other changes from taking place.
with this text:
A proposal is a fixed body of text which has been made into a
proposal using a process specifically described in the Rules.
When a person creates a proposal, e SHOULD ensure that it
specifies one or more changes to the gamestate. Where permitted
by other rules, a proposal that takes effect generally can, as
part of its effect, apply the changes that it specifies. If the
proposal cannot make some such changes, this does not preclude
the other changes from taking place.
