>From https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?3784, Judge Aspen presiding:
"If a proposal fails to state that who is performing an action, Agorans are sufficiently respectful to make the inference that the proposal is. Thus, the proposal takes the place that a player would take for a by announcement action, even if the relevant requirements are generally more relaxed. It follows that a proposal, saying "I", generally refers to emself, since e is the agent of eir own actions." [thanks to Jason for finding this one].
