Upon a closer inspection, it seems clear that "those changes" do not include causing the Bank of Agora to register or enter into the AAA. BobTHJ quoted Ivan Hope's intent to make the Bank of Agora register, and to join the AAA, and said "I consent to the above as well as all changes [etc]". Ivan Hope quoted this saying "I make those changes." So it seems that "changes" in this context is distinct from BobTHJ's "the above" (intent to cause the BoA to act), and as Ivan Hope named only the former of these two in eir post, the latter failed to occur. It is interesting to note that, had the BoA joined the AAA after the messages in question, but before issuing its report, then upon self- ratification a week from now the pens (but not the crops) would have sprung into existence, creating an imbalance between issued pens and held assets, and thereby the possibility of a run on the Agora Bank.
