This is missing two of my proposals, which I admittedly submitted rather
late—maybe you intended to distribute them next week? Here they are, in case
you missed them:
{
Title: Calls with Memoranda
AI: 2
Co-authors: Aris, G, Alexis
Create a new Power-2 rule titled “Administrative Opinions”: {
An officer may publish an Administrative Opinion for a judicial case,
specifying a valid judgement for that case. Officers SHOULD only assign
Administrative Opinions to cases with which eir office is primarily concerned.
The Arbitor SHOULD record Administrative Opinions along with case judgements.
An officer who has published an Administrative Opinion for an unassigned case
may, without objection, Administratively Close a case, causing em to become the
judge for the case and eir Administrative Opinion to become the judgment for
the case. The Arbitor SHOULD NOT assign a judge to a case while proceedings to
Administratively Close it are ongoing.
}
}
{
Title: Calls for Memoranda
AI: 2
Co-authors: Aris, G
Amend rule 991 by appending “All other things being equal, the Arbitor SHOULD
assign Calls for Judgement to the officer most concerned with its content.”
after the sentence "The Arbitor SHALL assign judges over time such that all
interested players have reasonably equal opportunities to judge.”
