Adoption index: 1.0 Author: G. Co-authors: Amend Rule 2429 (Bleach) by replacing: Replacing a non-zero amount of whitespace with a different non-zero amount of whitespace is generally insignificant, except for paragraph breaks. with: Replacing a non-zero amount of whitespace with a different non-zero amount of whitespace is generally insignificant, except if doing so substantially changes the semantic, logical, or artistic structure of the text. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8923 Title: Department of Defense Adoption index: 2.0 Author: G. Co-authors: Amend Rule 2451 (Executive Orders) by appending the following list item: - Research Funding (Mad Engineer): The Prime Minister specifies an existing Rule. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Mad Engineer CAN and SHALL use that rule instead of making a random rule selection as part of eir weekly duties for the following week. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8925 Title: Codify Conditionality Adoption index: 3.0 Author: G. Co-authors: Janet, Murphy [Since a recent win was performed with a slightly-complex conditional action, there has been discussion in DIS and on discord about codifying conditional actions. There is much debate and difference of approach in the Discord discussion, but it would be good not to stall out. This paragraph is intended to essentially change no mechanics, and legislatively codify our current common-law precedent - thus acknowledging that conditionals exist at least, which can be changed in later proposals]. Amend Rule 2518 (Determinacy) by appending the following paragraph: A communication purporting to express conditional intent to perform an action is considered unclear and ambiguous unless, at a minimum, the conditional is determinate, true, and reasonably straightforward to evaluate with publicly-available information at the time of communication. The communicator SHOULD explain specific reasons for being uncertain of the outcome when e makes the communication. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
