//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 9250
Title: Re-fee
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Janet
Co-authors: Kate


Amend Rule 2579 by, as a single amendment (failing as a whole if any
step fails):

* Replacing the paragraph beginning "To use a fee-based method" with the
following paragraph:

{

To use a fee-based method, an entity (the Actor) who is otherwise
permitted to perform the action must announce that e is performing that
action; such announcement must clearly and unambiguously set forth
intent to pay a fee for the sole purpose of using that method to perform
that action. Additionally, such announcement must either clearly and
unambiguously specify the correct set of assets for that fee or use
simplified wording (e.g. "I buy X") that makes the intended fee
reasonably clear and unambiguous (in particular, without stating an
incorrect fee).

}

* Replacing the text "If the Rules specify a recipient for the fee, and
the Actor CAN transfer that specified fee from emself to the recipient"
with the text "If the Rules specify a recipient for the relevant fee,
and the Actor CAN transfer that fee from emself to the recipient"

* Replacing "and the Actor CAN destroy the specified fee in eir
possession" with "and the Actor CAN destroy the relevant fee in eir
possession".


[More closely mirror the "by announcement" standard, remove the crime
(instead simply making the attempt ineffective), and fix a bug:
references to the "specified fee" later in the rule are now wrong, since
the fee is not always specified. This second version also adds missing
clarity requirements.]

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 9251
Title: Regulated simultaneity
Adoption index: 3.0
Author: Janet
Co-authors: 


Amend Rule 478 by replacing the text "Allowing actions performed by
sending a message to take place simultaneously" with the text "Allowing
regulated actions performed by sending a message to take place
simultaneously".

[Clarify an old wording ambiguity that ais523 pointed out that
potentially makes this restriction overbroad.]

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ID: 9252
Title: Thesis requirements
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: Trigon
Co-authors: 


To rule 1367 "Degrees", add a paragraph before the one beginning
"Degrees SHOULD be awarded" which reads:

===
The Herald is ENCOURAGED to enact administrative regulations including
specific guidelines on how to submit theses, a detailed description of
the peer-review process, and specific qualifications for degrees in
general and for specific degrees.
===

Comment: This comes from a discussion on Discord in which several
people, both established players and newer Agorans, expressed
discontentment with how requirements to submit a thesis for a degree are
communicated to players. Although Administrative Regulations have a
visibility problem, this is at least one way to help with that.
