The method for changing the rules seems to be "by proposal", shorthand for "by 
the proposal process".

A sentence to specify this...

"This is a proposal, which, if adopted, will take effect."

Oops, that's just "the method".

A specification: "The rule changes described in the proposals
distributed in this message will be applied, if ever, by the proposal as
it takes effect after being adopted." (This can probably be shortened,
but I think it at least needs to mention the rule changes and their
application.)
