proto-proposal: refactor the Herald AI: 1{{{ Amend rule 649 by adding after "set out in the Rules." the sentence The Herald's report shall include a list of each Patent Title that at least one person Bears, with a list of which persons Bear it.

Incidentally removes the "Threat" item, which we're not using, from rule 1377. Also gives a more accurate overall description of the Herald.] }}} With rule 1377 diminished to such a minimal state, I wonder whether it should be merged entirely into some other rule, most likely rule 649. The Herald's report is not defined to contain anything other than PTs (and Threats).
IMO, official duties such as report contents should mostly be kept in the rule that defines the office. This way a (potential) officer can read one rule to find the duties required of em rather than having to search the entire ruleset. -root
