{
Amend Rule 2160 ("Deputisation") by replacing the sole list with the
following:
{
1. the rules require the holder of that office, by virtue of holding
that office, to perform the action (this requirement is fulfilled by the
deputy performing the action); and, it would be POSSIBLE for the deputy
to perform the action, other than by deputisation, if e held the office;
and, the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is doing
so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation; and,
2. any of the following are true:
(A) the office is vacant;
(B) a time limit by which the rules require the action to be
performed has expired, the office's holder has not changed in the past 7
days, and any of the following are true:
(i) the deputy announced between two and fourteen days earlier
that e intended to deputise for that office for the purposes of the
particular action;
(ii) the time limit expired between 14 days ago and 28 days ago;
(iii) the time limit expired more than 28 days ago and the
deputisation is temporary;
}
[This simplifies the list significantly, hopefully making it clearer. It
also makes the following substantive changes: allows only temporarily
deputisation (or deputisation with notice) for old duties, and prohibits
deputising for an office whose holder has changed in the past 7 days, to
allow a holder time to catch up when they assume a new office, and to
prevent rapid-fire changes resulting from deputisation fights.]
