Draft II: Intelligent Dependent Action reporting, AI-2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Draft II changes:
- No double-votes if you support your second-class person's actions
(amendment to (d))
- cleaned up reporting requirements (simplified them by making them
longer)
[To resolve a dependent action, you just have to report the voters
casting the appropriate type of vote: SUPPORT for with Support,
OBJECT for without Objection, both for Consent. You no longer count
yourself in support. You still have to identify the (valid) voters.]
Amend Rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) by replacing:
(b) The available options are SUPPORT and OBJECT.
with:
(b) The available options are a subset of SUPPORT and
OBJECT, as defined by the specific method of dependent
action.
and by replacing:
(d) The eligible voters are those entities that were active
first-class players at the start of the voting period,
except for any entities disqualified by the rule specifying
that the action can be performed dependently.
with:
(d) The eligible voters are those entities that were active
first-class players at the start of the voting period,
except for: (a) members of the basis of the initiator of
the decision; and (b) any entities disqualified by the rule
specifying that the action can be performed dependently.
and by deleting:
(h) The announcer, by virtue of the announcement of intent,
implicitly submits a ballot of SUPPORT on the Agoran
decision, if e is an eligible voter and does not explicitly
repudiate this implication in the announcement.
Amend Rule 2124 (Methods of Dependent Actions) to read:
The following methods of dependent actions are defined:
(a) With N Supporters. For this method, the support index is
N and the available option is SUPPORT. "With Support" is
synonymous with "With 1 Supporter". A tally of votes need
only include a count of up to N valid ballots to resolve
the decision, even if there are more.
(b) Without N Objections. For this method, the objection index
is N and the available option is OBJECT. "Without Objection"
is synonymous with "Without 1 Objection". A tally of votes
MUST include all valid ballots up to a count of N to resolve
the decision, but needn't include more.
(c) With N Agoran Consent. For this method, the majority index
is N and the available options are SUPPORT and OBJECT. "With
Agoran Consent" is synonymous with "With 1/2 Agoran Consent".
A tally of votes must include all valid ballots.
