Just adding my previous gratuitous arguments for reference:
The issue is that, the way the rule is written, it's unclear whether it
was IMPOSSIBLE or merely ILLEGAL.
Is there a "SHALL implies CAN by announcement" in the ruleset currently?
If not, is it in precedent, and does it mean the implied SHALL NOT is
a CANNOT, or merely a SHALL NOT? And does the timing of the report
publication (second time in a week) matter?
Rule text:
Floating Value is a natural switch. When e publishes eir Weekly Report,
the
Secretary SHALL flip the Floating Value to Agora's shiny balance.
