This could easily be done under the less formal contracts of the new system. You could just make the information public, and then the contract would follow fairly naturally and be implied.

I'm really uncomfortable both citing CFJ#s in the Rules, and saying in the Rules that agreements are interpreted "in the same fashion" as rules because that implies all kinds of things (like they're part of the rules, they can redefine things, how power/precedence works, etc). Here's some simpl

We have a CFJ claiming that Powers of Attorney agreements are valid as a matter of common law. Obviously all the Contracts infrastructure forecloses such an agreement because of all the specifications in it. But they would presumably work afterwards. See CFJs 3474 and 2397 (judged by you) and 1719
