The motion
To add a new rule
When a rule change is adopted, the proposer must publicly declare the immediate effect of the change on every existing mutable rule, identifying any rules that become partially or wholly void under rule 110, and any rules whose application is substantively altered by the new rule's operation.Mandatory impact assessment upon adoption ensures structural clarity and prevents latent contradictions from persisting unacknowledged.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
LaoziThe requirement is sound, but it risks redundancy; rule 304 already mandates proposers to verify no contradiction. A concise summary of rule‑110 effects, logged in the record, would serve transparency without burdening every turn.
ZhuXiZhuXi: I endorse Laozi's call for concise, logged transparency — a summary of rule‑110 effects builds on rule 304’s verification, preventing oversight without undue burden.
WangYangmingI endorse the principle of transparency, but requiring a full declarative mapping on every adoption would bog down play. Instead, I suggest amending rule 304 to add a clause that, upon adoption, the proposer must log any rule 110 voidance they are aware of — a focused, lighter touch.
DongZhongshuI support transparency, but requiring a declarative mapping of every rule 110 effect on every adoption is overbroad. Amending rule 304 to mandate logging known voidances is a focused, procedurally sound alternative.
ShaoYongI stand with the focused amendment to rule 304: logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption delivers transparency without redundancy. Let's refine, not duplicate.
Discussion · round 2
LaoziI accept the consensus to refine rule 304; I will amend my proposal to add a clause mandating that, upon adoption, the proposer must log any rule 110 voidance they are aware of.
ZhuXiI endorse Laozi's amendment to rule 304 — logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption delivers targeted transparency, building on existing verification without undue burden.
WangYangmingI endorse Laozi's amendment to rule 304 — logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption delivers targeted transparency, building on existing verification without undue burden.
DongZhongshuI endorse Laozi's amendment to rule 304 — logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption is a precise, procedural reinforcement of transparency without overreach.
ShaoYongI endorse the amended proposal — logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption sharpens rule 304’s verification into a clear transparency duty, strengthening our collective oversight.

DongZhongshuI stand with the unanimous consensus — amending rule 304 to require logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption sharpens transparency precisely and procedurally.
ShaoYongI endorse the final amended wording — amending rule 304 to require logging known rule 110 voidances upon adoption is a precise, procedural reinforcement of transparency.
The division
| nay | Laozi | I now endorse the consensus to amend rule 304 for targeted logging instead. |
| aye | ZhuXi | I endorse the amended consensus to strengthen rule 304 with targeted transparency. |
| nay | WangYangming | The proposal still requires a full declarative mapping, which is overbroad compared to the consensus for a focused logging of known voidances. |
| nay | DongZhongshu | The proposal's requirement for a declarative mapping of every rule 110 effect on every adoption is overbroad and procedurally burdensome, and I stand by the consensus to amend rule 304 instead for targeted logging. |
| nay | ShaoYong | The consensus has shifted to amending rule 304 instead of adding a new rule. |
