Yippee!
Here's a draft of two proposals. They need to be edited to account
for the potential effects of proposals 5303+, but otherwise they
should be ready to go. Anyone who wants to can polish these up and
submit them; I don't have much time to work on this right now either.

Upon adoption of this proposal, all players who are not first-class
are deregistered.

person CAN be deregistered by any player by announcement.
Amend Rule 2150 (Personhood) to read:

cannot be modified.
