Our old shorthand was "The AFO votes FOR on proposal 5707", etc., but I'm far from certain that would work under modern rules (and may have depended somewhat on the wording of the contract in question, although IIRC I remember a large number of different contracts making use of it). Perhaps we could encode that into the rules; you perform an action by announcement by stating that you perform it, so you perform an action-on-behalf by announcement by stating that someone else performs it. Actions which aren't by announcement, although rare, would need some other wording. The main not-by-announcement action is publishing a report. I'm not convinced "G. publishes the following report:" (an attempt to make it into an action by announcement) works; as far as I can tell, if I wrote that, I'd be publishing the report and simply lying about who the publisher was. -- ais523
