How about "Rules and Regulations to the contrary notwithstanding, all auctions that are ongoing in the last week of September 2021 SHALL and CAN be resolved by announcement during that week, using the bids currently in place and disregarding any other time period. Any ongoing auctions as of 1 November 2021 are terminated with no winner. At the end of September 2021, each entity's coin balance is divided by ten (rounding to the nearest whole). The Buoyancy Target is then flipped to its previous value divided by 10"
The autoflipping of the BT won't be perfect (it will take itself from the treasuror's previous report which will disregard some transactions) but does that work?
