I agree. But the kernel of the idea, of providing an accurate time of resolution, is good. Currently, the following sequence is a problem: - There is an incorrect CoE made against a resolution. - The Assessor accepts it. - The Assessor posts a new resolution, which self-ratifies. The first resolution is correct and platnoically succeeds. The CoE does not interfere with this. The second resolution then ratifies the resolution again, possibly even adopting the proposal a second time. If it does not, there's uncertainty as to when it was resolved. But the core of Falsifian's idea it seem is that the resolution time is fixed upon the first attempt, and CoEs about the result only address what the result was, platonically, at the time of the resolution. I don't have time to draft a fix for this, though, as it seems relatively involved at first blush, since it requires separating out the various pieces of a resolution. Likely, we need something along the lines of making the decisions existence self-ratify, as well as the statement that its voting period has ended (an important oversight in the existing things ratified), and that it was resolved in this message. Then, separately, we have the statement of outcome self-ratify, as well as separate requirements for posting a tally, even if incorrect. And then we need to make sure that CoEs against these things work correctly. There's a much bigger issue I just nocied, though, and that I do have enough time to draft as I've already circulated a proto-proto and it's of smaller scope. I would like to get it out soon, so I will circulate a proto for that in hopes of being able to get it into this week's distribution (and note to the Promotor, I am prepared to distribute it myself via Manifesto, so don't worry about having to hold off if it's especially inconvenient to you). -Alexis
