Create a rule titled "Committees" with Power 2.1 and this text:
If this rule defines a committee corresponding to a given
category of the Short Logical Ruleset, and the committee has at
least 3 members, then any member of the committee CAN submit a
Proposal, the scope of which is limited to amending rules within
that category, as Passed by Committee with the Support of all of the
other members of the committee. Each member of the relevant
committee at the time the Agoran Decision on whether to adopt a
Passed by Committee proposal is initiated has a default voting
limit on that decision of 2, if the proposal is Democratic, or
twice eir caste at the start of its voting period if the
proposal is Ordinary, rules to the contrary notwithstanding.
The following committees are defined, with the corresponding
charter positions:
a) Committee on the Game of Agora: Speaker, Tailor, Ministers
Without Portfolio, First Speaker Michael

While an active player holds one or more charter positions for
a committee, e is a charter member of that committee. When a
charter member of a committee ceases to hold any charter
positions for that committee, or ceases to be an active player,
e ceases to be a member of that committee.
While a committee's number of charter members (CM) is less than
five, a non-member CAN spend any 5-CM of eir Notes forming
consecutive tones of a pentatonic scale to become a non-charter
member of that committee. While a committee's number of members
is more than five, its non-charter member that has been one for
the longest continuous period of time ceases to be a member.
The IADoP's report includes the membership of each committee.
Assign each rule to the category in the SLR it had at 26 Apr 2009
18:00:00 UTC, or its current category if it was not in a category at
that time.
