You would need to set this up would be if you could create a way that the officer could perform the action without discharging the obligation, which would be a nice trick! Furthermore, for reports specifically, the act of publishing the report once fulfills all the obligations to publish. Although if Aris' interpretation of "publish a report accurate to some time within the week", perhaps it doesn't... Actually, I think that may be the strongest argument, better than all my other ones, against eir interpretation. That doesn't preclude digging up old obligations of other natures. But a statute of limitations might be good here, and function as a blanket solution. Something like "a time limit by which the rules require the action to taken was violated less than a month/quarter ago." -Alexis
