I pend the following proposal (identical to proto).
Proposal: Clarify dependent actions
(AI = 3)
Amend Rule 2595 (Performing a Dependent Action) to read:
A rule that purports to allow a person (the performer) to perform
an action by a set of one or more dependent actions thereby allows
em to perform the action by announcement if all of the following
are true:
1. A person (the initiator) published an announcement of intent
that unambiguously, clearly, conspicuously, and without
obfuscation specified the action intended to be taken and the
method(s) to be used, including these values if relevant:
* If the action is to be taken with T notice, then the value
of T.
* If the action is to be taken without N objections, with N
support, or with N Agoran Consent, and N is not equal to 1,
then the value of N.
2. The time between the announcement of intent and the action is
at most 14 days. In addition:
* If the action is to be taken without N objections or with N
Agoran consent, then it is at least 4 days.
* If the action is to be taken with T notice, then it is at
least T (minimum of 4 days).
3. At least one of the following is true:
* The performer is the initiator.
* The initiator was authorized to perform the action due to
holding a rule-defined position now held by the performer.
* The initiator is authorized to perform the action, the
action depends on support, the performer has supported the
intent, and the rule authorizing the performance does not
explicitly prohibit supporters from performing it.
4. Agora is Satisfied with the announced intent, as defined by
other Rules.
5. If the announcement of intent stated any conditions, then those
conditions are all met.
If the action is to be taken with N Agoran consent, then the
performer SHOULD publish a list of supporters and objectors.
Amend Rule 2124 (Agoran Satisfaction) to read:
A Supporter of an intent to perform an action is an eligible
entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) support for an
announcement of that intent.
An Objector to an intent to perform an action is an eligible
entity who has publicly posted (and not withdrawn) an objection to
the announcement of that intent.
The entities eligible to support or object to an intent to perform
an action are, by default, all players, subject to modification by
the document authorizing the dependent action. However, the
previous sentence notwithstanding, the initiator of the intent is
not eligible to support it, and a person CANNOT support or object
to an announcement of intent before the intent is announced, or
after e has withdrawn the same type of response.
Agora is Satisfied with an intent to perform a specific action
unless at least one of the following is true:
1. The action is to be performed without N objections, and there
are at least N Objectors to that intent.
2. The action is to be performed with N support, and there are
fewer than than N Supporters of that intent.
3. The action is to be performed with N Agoran consent, and the
number of Supporters of that intent is less than or equal to N
times the number of Objectors to that intent.
4. The action is to be performed without N objections or with N
Agora consent, and an objection to that intent was withdrawn
within the past 24 hours.
5. The Speaker objected to that intent within the past 48 hours.
