1006/44 already states, in its last paragraph, "When a proposal takes effect 
and creates a new office, if the proposal does not specify otherwise, the 
author of that proposal becomes the holder of the office.” That’s what I had in 
mind when writing that rule; do we believe it doesn’t work? Additionally, it’s 
with noting that I intentionally didn’t allow these offices to be reappointed, 
on the theory that it would encourage us to assign the switches to a proper 
office (by proposal) instead of keeping the interim office indefinitely.
