Well, now, you see, that's why I made that other change last nweek, that changed "rule" to "charter".  Now there's nothing in r631 that says a Charter Prop makes rules, except for those that club members have to obey.

We had this argument last nweek.  R631 doesn't say a Charter Prop is a proposal; it only says a Charter Prop is "like a normal prop. in that it's added to the nweek ballot and voted on."  It doesn't say that a Charter Prop is like a normal prop in that it has rule-changing authority.  And therefore, according to the Default Case, it doesn't have rule-changing authority.  You can put a rule change into a Charter Prop, but the rule change can't be implemented.

I did call them hole plugs, guy...:)
