I just looked it up, to borrow the wording, and the context (which I'd
forgotten) turns out to be a proposal to have fora tracked by the speaker.
That must have been just before you came up with truthiness.
New version:
proto-proposal: distributor as an office

[This proposal depends on proposal 5172.]
Murphy is a coauthor of this proposal.
Amend rule 478 by replacing the paragraphs
Publicity is a forum switch with values Public, Discussion, and

The Registrar's report includes, for each forum with non-null
publicity, sufficient instructions for players to receive
messages there.

The distributor is an office.
Publicity is a forum switch with values Public, Discussion, and
Null (default), tracked by the distributor in eir monthly
report. The distributor's monthly report includes, for each
forum with non-null publicity, sufficient instructions for
players to receive messages there.
The distributor SHALL send eir monthly report to each forum with
non-null publicity at least once each quarter.
and then replacing each remaining instance of "Registrar" with
"distributor".
[Tracking fora is a pretty distinct job from tracking players, and the
registrar has it only for historical reasons. We've often formally
tracked a distributor, and it may as well be an office with the
obvious responsibility for fora. The new bit about reporting to all
fora provides a regular test of the backup fora and ensures that
someone with out-of-date contact details will at least find out where
we really are.]
Install Goddess Eris as holder of the office of distributor.
[E in fact has this role currently.]
Amend rule 2162 by replacing "That officer's report" with "That
officer's report (weekly unless otherwise specified)".
[Additional option used by the new R478.]
