ID: 8342
Title: Calls with Memoranda
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Gaelan
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: Judicial Jocularity Act
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: twg
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 591, "Delivering Judgement", by replacing each occurrence of
"DISMISS" with "¯\_(ツ)_/¯".
[Very few CFJs get judged DISMISS at the moment; I figure the generation
of mirth outweighs the slight inconvenience of having to copy-and-paste
it from the ruleset occasionally.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8344
Title: Unsubstantive interpretation
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Alexis
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 2140 (Power Controls Mutability) by replacing
'A "substantive" aspect of an instrument is any aspect that affects the
instrument's operation.'
with
'A "substantive" aspect of an instrument is any aspect that affects the
instrument's operation, but does not include its interpretation."
}
[Interpretations between entities of different power are controlled by R217.]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8345
Title: Self-punishment
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors:
Amend Rule 2555 (Blots) by inserting the following paragraph after the
paragraph beginning "Levying fines and destroying blots":
A person CAN, by announcement, create a specified number of blots in
eir possession.
Amend Rule 2535 (Zombies) by inserting the following list item before
the item that says "deregister.":
- create blots;
[This is intended to allow contracts to provide enforcement mechanisms
other than R1742's general "SHALL act in accordance with that contract".
For example, a contract could grant an Enforcer the ability to act on
behalf of other parties to create blots in the possession of the other
party. This could also, potentially, reduce work on the Referee.
The zombie provision is intended to prevent zombie owners from screwing
over their zombies.]

Title: De-secure Black Ribbons v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: ais523
Amend Rule 2438 (Ribbons) by replacing the text "This rule does not
specify any methods of obtaining Black Ribbons." with the text "An
Instrument CAN, as part of its effect, cause a person to earn a Black
Ribbon. When this occurs, this Rule awards that person a Black Ribbon.".
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 8347
Title: R2141 power increase v2
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors:
Set Rule 2141's power to 3.1
[Rationale: Rule 2141 (Role and Attributes of Rules) defines
(unsurprisingly) what rules are and what they can do. This is
sufficiently important that it should take precedence over other power-3
rules. This doesn't protect it from power-3 instruments (since nothing
can), but it does help it from accidentally losing a precedence battle,
especially with its relatively high ID number.]
