Why not just make it adoption index 1 and then change it to democratic? I

 I believe this fails because it is no longer possible for the speaker
 to assign Prerogatives, because Proposal 6127 removed the phrase by
 announcement.  Rule 2019 previously read:
 
  In a timely fashion before the beginning of each month, the
  Speaker SHALL assign each Player who bears the patent title
  Minister Without Portfolio a different Prerogative for the
  upcoming month by announcement.  If there are more members in
  one set than the other, then e SHALL choose which members of the
  larger set take part in the assignment.
 
 It now reads:
 
In a timely fashion before the beginning of each month, the
Speaker SHALL assign each prerogative to a different active
player; first assigning prerogatives to active players bearing
the Patent Title Minister without Portfolio (MwoPs); then (if
there are more prerogatives than active MwoPs), assigning
prerogatives to other active players.
 
 
 It seems like e still assigns them but no longer has to announce that he
 is assigning them.

This goes back to the years-old I say I do, therefore I do debate;
actions are defined as being by announcement (or by some other method,
e.g. dependent actions, which boils down to by announcement at the
end) precisely because that mechanism isn't accepted as being
universally implicit.  I think I once proposed something like:

  If the rules say a person CAN perform an action, but do not
  otherwise specify a mechanism, then e CAN perform it by
  announcement.

but it was voted down.

There's a judicial precedent (CFJ 1765) that X SHALL Y by announcement
implies X CAN Y by announcement, but the mechanism is only implicit in
the second part; it must be specified in the first part.

 Noone deputized to publish such a report, so Wooble endorsed ais523, but
 e not vote.)
 
 The outcome selected by Agora is FAILED QUORUM. The Voting Period is
 hereby doubled.
CoE: This is the Herald election, not the Registrar one. (Tiger's post

I'm pretty sure e voted like that in the Herald election, not the

It's mislabeled; coppro and Tiger definitely were not players in January 2008.
