I don't know if this kind of language works. “Repeal this rule” sounds like a command, not a statement. Perhaps it would be better to state “Once e does so, this rule is repealed.” Similarly, the “timely manner” requirement doesn't seem to specify a starting time (e.g., “after such and such event”). I'd advise you to include something to the effect of “after the creation of this rule”. > I also submit the following proposal: > { > Title: Ongoing obligation > Adoption Index: 1.0 > Author: 4st > Coauthor: Janet > > The player 4st MUST submit a copy of this proposal. > } > -- > 4st I hope this doesn't work, or we'll have untrackable and ethereal ontology-destabilizing floating obligations. R106 states: > proposal can neither delay nor extend its own effect and > a proposal's effect is instantaneous This raised the question: is the effect of 4st's proposal indefinetly extended? If so, does R106 preclude it from happening, or simply cuts it short? Or even: its effect is instant; viz., the creation of the obligation. I don't see anything in the rules to decide these two dichotomies. -- juan
