Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification! On 6/5/2018 1:03 PM, Kerim Aydin wrote:
"Propose" as a verb isn't defined in the rules and only appears in that rule (and isn't formally associated with "proposals"). By common definition, to "propose" something is to "put forward (an idea or plan) for consideration or discussion by others" which anyone CAN do without permission via email (e.g. if I post a proto-proposal in Discussion I'm proposing the idea). So no CAN is needed in that step. For actually creating the Tournament, I didn't quote the whole rule, the important formal part (including a CAN) is in the later paragraph: After adequate time for discussion of the Birthday Tournament's regulations, the Herald (or delegate) CAN initiate a sanctioned tournament with a specified, finalized set of regulations, Without 3 Objections.

[I feel like I'm basically the Agoran scold these days. Not sure if the Herald is interested. But maybe someone else might have an idea for a 25th Birthday tournament?].
