In rule “Resolution of Proposals” change:

It could not be Enacted without either one of the Votes AGAINST it being changed, or the set of Drivers being changed, or by awaiting the passage of time.

to

It could not be Enacted without either one of the Votes AGAINST it being changed, or the set of Drivers being changed.

In rule “Victory and Ascension” change:

It has been open for voting for at least 12 hours, and it could not be Enacted without either at least one of the Votes AGAINST it being changed, or the set of Drivers being changed, or by awaiting the passage of time.

It has been open for voting for at least 12 hours, and it could not be Enacted without either at least one of the Votes AGAINST it being changed, or the set of Drivers being changed.

The ” awaiting the passage of time” bit is meaningless.

against as it serves to clear up edge cases by making sure that you don’t evalue ‘could not be enacted’ as an instantaneous condition.

for I missed that wording. As written, doesn’t it mean that the oldest proposal can be failed if it hasn’t timed out but would pass if it did?

for Without the “passage of time” wording, a proposal which had, say, 6 FORs (i.e. less than quorum) and 0 AGAINSTs could be immediately failed if it were at the back of the queue; because as it wouldn’t have been quorumed, it couldn’t be enacted without waiting for it to time out, and so if the rules don’t explicitly allow timing out as a method to allow a proposal to eventually pass, then if a proposal can’t be passed right now it can be failed.

against Ok, per ais523, but I’ll repropose to make it clearer.
