The below CFJ is 3834. I assign it to R. Lee.

=============================== CFJ 3834 ===============================
In a generic Agoran context, to refer a proposal to a chamber is
to set its chamber switch to that chamber.

Caller's Arguments:
I've been putting "Definition: To refer a proposal to a chamber is to
set its chamber switch to that chamber." at the top of my referral
messages since February. My hope is that people have seen it enough by
now that the average Agoran knows what it means without needing to see
the definition.

Gratuitous Arguments by G.:
I tried to lay out a 3-part test for accepting jargon in CFJ 3663:
https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?3663
A quick re-read of that judgement and I'd guess "refer", used in the
context of proposals and chambers, has as strong a case as any for being
acceptable. Worth noting is that the only officer who needs to track the
jargon is the person who invented it, who is also the only person who can
perform that task by announcement anyway.
