I made a proto fix:
{{{

Amend rule 1728 (Dependent Actions) by:

by
2. The performer is authorized to perform the action due to
holding a rule-defined position that was held by the
initiator at the time of the intent announcement.
[This makes the timing of authorization and position-holding more precise,
and occasionally more flexible.]

This doesn't work as you don't hold the office, however, with o, Aris, and
Gaelan's support, I do so.
I'm pretty sure Gaelan's action is _intended_ to work by rule 1728 § 4.3, but
on looking at it, I think the mechanism is messed up:
A rule which purports to allow a person (the performer) to perform
an action by a set of one or more of the following methods (N is 1
unless otherwise specified):
[...]
thereby allows em to perform the action by announcement if all of
the following are true:
[...]
3. The initiator is authorized to perform the action, the
action depends on support, the performer has supported the
intent, and the rule authorizing the performance does not
explicitly prohibit supporters from performing it.
The "em" of the second excerpt refers to "a person" in the first excerpt, and
that person must be _allowed_ to perform the action dependently.
Condition 4.3 tries to allow supporters to be performers, but it's not itself
an authorization, but just a condition for the authorization in the second
excerpt to trigger - and the second excerpt contains the actual anouncement
mechanism, which must be performed by someone authorized by according to the
first excerpt.
Greetings,
Ørjan.
