so I, as I imagine others do, keep an always-current version of my
report, in addition to the actual published reports. However, my
question is this: If I publish a report, then more stuff happens (e.g. a
new contract is created), and then someone makes a CoE, is it *wrong* to
include that new stuff? i.e., does the revision have to be accurate to
the original time of publishing and nothing after, or can it (or should
it) be accurate to the time of publishing of the revision?

From R. Lee
I think this would be a very interesting CFJ if the logic was ever used to
COE a revised report. The rules don't specifically describe whether a
report SHOULD or even CAN include newly reportable information unrelated to
the Doubt if the report is revised. From a cursory glance, I think the two
most important places to start are how you interpret the common definition
of the word "revise" as used in R2201 and the interaction between "weekly"
in R2143 and "Agoran week" in R1023. At least, that's where I would start
preparing my arguments.
For the record, R. Lee's answer is the most pragmatic.
As a practical matter, if someone says at the top of a new report "this
report includes the revisions made due to the CoE on the past report in
addition to new transactions" I've never seen anyone complain (and I've
done that). Though for self-ratifying reports (the notary rep isn't
self-ratifying, right?), it's probably a better practice to publish the
corrected old report right after seeing the CoE, so it can self-ratify
cleanly without worrying about new errors.
-G.
The rules don't say that the notary's report self-ratifies, so I would
assume it doesn't. But yeah, for revision 4, I included all the new
stuff and just said "information is accurate to the date of this
revision as far as my knowledge" or something like that. I don't know if
I'll always do that, but for this report it would have been harder to do
it the other way.
