I’m reasonably certain that the proposals fixing Shinies have passed, but have 
not yet been assessed. The proposal repairing Agoraculture has been distributed 
and the votes so far are FOR it, so - optimistically - I expect it to pass, as 
well. We’re fairly close to having these two systems working again. With that 
in mind…

I spoke to ais523 privately, and to a few other folks, and it sounds like 
ratifying the Secretary’s report (which happens automatically) and turning a 
benign blind eye to the fact that the Promotor may have been distributing 
proposals which were not pending (which the Promotor CAN do, but MUST NOT do) 
should be sufficient.

We may want to ratify the ruleset, as well, once we’re sure the typographical 
issues and accidental omissions people have been discovering are sorted out, 
but I don’t think it’s urgent so long as the proposal cycle itself isn’t 
compromised, and it doesn’t sound like it is.

With that in mind, I believe no further action is required on this front once 
the proposals mentioned above are enacted.

Objections?
