A contract cannot become a public contract unless its text and list of
parties are simultaneously published. Whether it can start out as a
public contract is debatable.
I agree to the following: {This is a public contract and a pledge
known as ä, which terminates 24 hours from the time of its
publication. Anyone can act on my behalf to CFJ on the following
statement: "Within the past 24 hours, Warrigal created a pledge known
as ä."}
