Good idea! Minor comments on the second one:
> A player who is not the auctioneer of an existing Auction
> specified by this rule CAN, by announcement, initiate an auction
> with emself as the auctioneer The lots, minimum bid, and currency
> of the Auction shall be set by said player.
- This says "auctioneer" instead of "Auctioneer" like the first one does - I
would make them consistent to prevent potential confusion (for example, see
R2549 where "announcer" and "Announcer" mean different things).
- Missing a full stop before "The lots".
- I don't think the last sentence ("The lots" onwards) is actually necessary.
R2549 already requires the announcer to specify the lots, minimum bid and
(optionally) currency of the Auction, and there are no other rules that would
prevent em from specifying anything e liked.
- Relatedly, unless you replace "emself as the auctioneer" with "emself as the
Auctioneer and Announcer", it's possible to make _any other player_ the
Announcer without eir consent.
