=============================== CFJ 3904 =============================== An amendment that results in no net change of text in a rule is a rulechange, and the Rulekeepor shall keep a record of it. ========================================================================== Caller: Jason Judge: ATMunn ========================================================================== History: Called by Jason: 18 Apr 2021 19:07:19 Assigned to ATMunn: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Evidence: Rule 105/22 (Power=3) Rule Changes When the rules provide that an instrument takes effect, it can generally: [snip] 4. amend the text of a rule. [snip] A rule change is any effect that falls into the above classes. Rule changes always occur sequentially, never simultaneously. Rule 1681/23 (Power=1) The Logical Rulesets [Excerpt] Whenever a rule is changed in any way, the Rulekeepor SHALL record and thereafter maintain a reasonably accurate historical annotation to the rule indicating: 1. The type of change. 2. The date on which the change took effect. 3. The mechanism that specified the change. 4. If the rule was changed due to a proposal, then that proposal's ID number, author, and coauthor(s) (if any). Caller's Arguments: What it means to "amend" something is not explicitly defined in the rules, so it has its common language meaning. Definitions of "amendment": Google: "a minor change or addition designed to improve a text, piece of legislation, etc." Merriam-Webster online: (1a): "the process of altering or amending a law or document (such as a constitution) by parliamentary or constitutional procedure" (1b): "an alteration proposed or effected by this process" Dictionary.com: "an alteration of or addition to a motion, bill, constitution, etc." These all seem to suggest that an "amendment" requires something to actually change. Additionally, even if an amendment that results in no change is a rule change, that does not imply that the Rulekeepor shall keep a record of it. E is required to record "Whenever a rule is changed in any way", not whenever there is a rule change. ==========================================================================
