Gratuitous: perhaps we should instead let other nomics decide which actions they want to recognize as being performed by Agora. In the proto-nomic OmNom, acting on behalf is only allowed when the rules of OmNom allow it, so this amendment to Rule 2352 would have no effect. However, OmNom's rules do say, "Agora Nomic's Ambassador is allowed to act on behalf of Agora Nomic" (and have since before Rule 2352 was proposed). Of course, OmNom could have easily instead said, "The legality of acting on behalf of Agora Nomic is determined by the rules of Agora Nomic as if they were a pragmatic report", and likewise, any nomic could defer to Agora in determining who can act on Agora's behalf. —Tanner L.
