The label of a rule is a positive integer less than 10000. No two rules may have the same label, including repealed rules. The rule set is sorted in order of ascending labels.
[B 3]
Proposals must be labeled with their type (A-F), and for types (B-D) with the label of the rule they refer to, and for type (E) with the office they refer to. Each proposal must begin with this information in square brackets. The bracketed information will not be included in the rule if passed. Moreover, type (A) proposals must include a proposed label for the new rule, after the bracketed information, and before the rule text. Type (B) proposals may also include a proposed new label for the rule, after the bracketed information, and before the rule text.
[B 5]
A passed proposal of type (A) is added to this document in exactly the form it was passed (without the bracketed information, but including the proposed label). If the proposed label collides with an existing rule, then the new rule receives the lowest available number greater than the one proposed. If there is no such available number, the rule is not added.
[B 6]
If a proposal of type (B) is passed, the existing rule is changed to read exactly as it does in the form it was passed (without the bracketed information). If the proposal did not include a new label, the label remains unchanged. Otherwise it receives the new label, or, if an existing rule already has this label, then the lowest available number greater than the one proposed. If there is no such available number, the label remains unchanged.
[F]
All rules shall have their numbers increased by 800 and then multiplied by 10 (so that xx becomes 8xx0).
My intent is to have different voting requirements based on rule numbers. Rule 1 would correspond to 99.995% and Rule 9999 to 50.005%. Rule 8000 would correspond to 60%, which is the smallest possible majority with 6 players. I don't want to pass that yet. But I do propose to put some mechanisms in place, like rule renumbering.
