This decision was resolved incorrectly; I had previously changed my FOR vote to a conditional vote that would resolve to AGAINST if the Mongor published eir report, which, in fact, happened. Therefore, the vote tally was four FOR and four AGAINST, which is insufficient for the adoption of the proposal. The purported resolution of this decision constituted a self-ratifying claim that Proposal 7330 took effect, and, as of nearly twelve hours ago, this claim has remained continuously undoubted for one week. Therefore, the claim has ratified. Rule 1551 states that ratification "cannot [cause] a rule change unless the ratified document purports to include the text, title, and/or power of the rule being changed". Indeed, the ratified document mentioned Rule 2386 "Belligerence" by title, not by ID number (as it had not been assigned an ID number when the proposal was written), so this ratification was successful in repealing Rule 2386. I resigned the office of Mongor on February 12, but I held it continuously during the week of Monday, February 4, and I did not publish a report during that week. —Machiavelli
