Amend Rule 591 (Delivering Judgements) by replacing:
When a CFJ is open and assigned to a judge, that judge CAN
assign a valid judgement to it by announcement, and SHALL do so
in a timely fashion after this becomes possible. If e does not,
the Arbitor CAN remove em from being the judge of that case by
announcement.

assign a valid judgement to it by announcement, and SHALL do so
in a timely fashion after this becomes possible. If e does not,
the Arbitor CAN remove em from being the judge of that case by
announcement, and SHALL do so in a timely fashion after the
time limit expires, unless the judge assigns a valid judgement
in the mean time.
[Allows deputisation to remove late judges by adding a SHALL]
Amend Rule 991 (Calls for Judgement) by appending the following
paragraph:
The Arbitor's weekly report includes a summary of recent
judicial case activity, including open and recently-judged
cases, recent judicial assignments, and a list of players
interested in judging.
[Easiest way to fix the Arbitor's pay, but not just a make-work
report - in the past, regular Arbitor reports have been useful to
keep players informed about the state of judgements and the courts,
which promotes more ongoing clarity in the game state].
