BUS: [Proposal] Deputisation timeliness

2020-01-24 Thread Jason Cobb via agora-business
I submit the following proposal:

Title: Deputisation timeliness

AI: 3

Author: Jason Cobb

Co-authors: Alexis

{

Amend Rule 2160 to read, in whole:

{

A player acting as emself (the deputy) CAN perform an action ordinarily
reserved for an office-holder as if e held the office if

1. the player does not hold that office;

2. it would be POSSIBLE for the deputy to perform the action, other than
by deputisation, if e held the office;

3. either (i) there exists an obligation on the holder of that office,
by virtue of holding that office, to perform the action, or (ii) the
office is vacant;

4. either (i) a time limit applicable to that obligation has been
violated, and the end of that time limit was fewer than 90 days ago, or
(ii) the office is vacant;

5. if the office is not interim, the deputy announced between two and
fourteen days earlier that e intended to deputise for that office for
the purposes of the particular action; and

6. the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing so
by deputisation or by temporary deputisation.


When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the holder of
that office, unless the action being performed would already install
someone into that office, and/or unless the deputisation is temporary.

}


[

Added a prohibition on someone for deputising for an office that e
already holds (this was something I thought of, but then I realized it
violate all of the exacerbating factors in R2557.

Rephrased the time limit checks based on Alexis's suggested wording,
also adding a 90-day statute of limitations.

Removed the requirement for prior announcement for most deputisations,
only kept it for non-interim holders (also per Alexis's suggestion).

]

Ah, OK, I'm clearly still misunderstanding something important about
this.

CFJ, barring Alexis: "If the report referenced by my previous CFJ were
  to ratify, its 'specified time' for the purposes
  of Rule 1551 would be 00:00 UTC on 2020-01-20".

(if this is wrong, lmk and I'll retract and resubmit)

Finally, of course, if you're particularly unwilling to judge it then
feel free to ignore the "request" - was just under the impression that
you were the authority on this stuff atm.

I respond to the CoE by citing the CFJ I just called. (R2201 doesn't
require me to select the _correct_ response, and this is far more
convenient because it means the backdated report will never ratify by
accident.)

Which REQUIREMENT are you talking about?  It's pretty clear to me that
the clauses (1) and (2) in R2154 are written to absolve the ADoP from
the duty if it's no longer POSSIBLE (but if my reading is wrong and
it's broken, pls. explain as it should be fixed).

Since that judge was me, a comment.  There are actually two questions.
(1) Was is a report satisfying the requirement to publish all
information once per week, and (2) what was the actual, effective date
of the report (the backdate listed, or the datestamp on the message?)
>From what I said last time, my judgement would be that (1) is fairly

within the sorts of error we accept in a report.  So you might want to
ask question (2) which is the real meat of the matter - I won't ask it
in case you still want me to judge them both.

Also, I CoE the blot listings in the below-indicated report: it is
missing at least 1 person with a blot.  (how to resolve the CoE relies
on the answer to question 2).

This CFJ is extremely similar to CFJ 3792, except without the
technicality that caused it to be judged FALSE. I request it be assigned

The specific reason for this fine is that it is setting up the
