I'm more a fan of my own. I am not sure how others feel about it. I think I needed to work out how it would interact with quorum or something but don't remember anything else I wanted to iron out. It's been a while since I read your legal fictions proto, but I think I had reservations in it based on what I wrote in the following Feb 18 message: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-discussion/2020-February/056898.html (I phrased that message mostly about explaining differences between our approaches. To explain why those differences give me reservations, I'll just add that I prefer the rules to try to spell out what happens as clearly and unambigously as possible.) James
