R689 says 'To "register" someone is to flip that person's Citizenship
switch from Unregistered to Registered.'. That sounds like a
definition to me: if a rule says a person can't be registered, the
rule is saying a person's Citizenship switch can't be flipped to
Registered.

That may be true. But it does prevent a proposal from using the method of 
"registration" to make a person become a player if that person recently 
deregistered.

I think at this point it would only save nch one week, so I don't know
if I will bother submitting this. But here's a proto:

Title: Fresh start v3
Co-authors: G.
Adoption index: 3.1

Text: {
If nch has publicly consented to abide by the rules in clear reference
to this proposal, and not withdrawn consent, then enact a new
power-3.1 rule with the text: "The proposal that enacted this rule CAN
cause a player to be registered.", register nch, then repeal that
rule.

If nch is registered, grant em 1 blot.
}

Whether or not a proposal clause is prohibited from takes effect certainly
"affects the instrument's operation" because the taking effect *is* its
operation.  "Any aspect" includes what its text is allowed to do in a given
situation, not just the contents of its text.

How does that solve the problem? If I understand the issue correctly, 
the power-1 rule wouldn't be blocked by R2140, since it wouldn't be 
modifying a "substantive aspect" of the proposal (it wouldn't be 
changing the proposal itself at all), it would just happen to say that 
the proposal's effects would be INEFFECTIVE.

A Proposal with P>3 is still subject to R106's "Except as prohibited by
other rules" clause in terms of a particular clause taking effect.
R849 does the prohibiting for registration before 30 days.

There's no method for a power 3.1 proposal "beating out" a Power-3 Rule
due to a conflict - R106 just straight up says "if there's a prohibition,
the clause doesn't take effect."

If the proposal created a power 3.1 rule that said "nch is registered"
then we could use rule 1030, but that's not what the clause does.

A recent-ish CFJ (can't find it this minute but I'll look harder) found that
since R106 had numerical precedence over R2140 (before R2140 was amended),
R106 even allowed for a power-1 rule to impose a prohibition on a clause in
a power-4 proposal.  We added "rules to the contrary notwithstanding" to
R2140 to solve that - but R2140 still only applies to instruments below
power-3.  Since everything in this case is power 3+, that doesn't help.

Oh, duh.  Of course Proposal 8227 won't work to register nch despite 
being

power-3.1, regardless of nch's consent.  R106:
    Except as prohibited by other rules, a proposal that
  takes effect CAN and does, as part of its effect, apply the
  changes that it specifies.

R849 clearly prohibits the registration.  The "Comptrollor" ban we added
in R2140 recently to prevent lower-powered rules from prohibiting 
proposal

clauses in higher-powered proposals doesn't apply, because R2140 includes
the "below the power of this rule" qualifier and R849 is power 3.

-G.


Not sure I follow? R2140 is P3. R106 "Adopting Proposals" and R2350 
"Proposals" are both also P3, so not less. They should be able to set 
something to P>3, right? Am I missing something?
