Add to Rule 578 the following @@@@-delimited text:

@@@@
D.4. Member Societies

A society can be a member of another society; the society that is a member is a Member Society, while the society the Member Society is a member of is a Parent Society.  A society cannot, either directly or indirectly, be a member of itself or a parent of itself -- neither a Member Society's Parent Society, nor its Parent's Parent, ad infinitum, can be the Member Society.

D.4.1. Member Society Actions

A Member Society is considered equivalent to a member player of a society, for the purposes of joining or being ousted from membership, and performing actions as a member of the society, if the Member Society's public rules state the circumstances under which the Member Society performs actions as a society member.

Standard methods for performing Member Society Actions include:

D.4.1.1. Open Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is performing.  If a majority of members of the Member Society other than the posting member deny in a public forum the action posted within a three-nday period, the Member Society does not perform that action; otherwise, the Member Society performs the posted action as a member of the Parent Society.

D.4.1.2. Closed Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is performing.  If any member of the Member Society other than the posting member denies in a public forum the action posted within a three-nday period, the Member Society does not perform that action; otherwise, the Member Society performs the posted action as a member of the Parent Society.

D.4.1.3. Unanimous Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is performing.  If all members of the Member Society other than the posting member agree in a public forum to the action posted within a three-nday period, the Member Society performs the posted action as a member of the Parent Society; otherwise, the Member Society does not perform the posted action.

D.4.2. Society Proposals

If a Parent Society makes a Society Proposal, the benefits and burdens of the proposal are shared with Member Societies as they would be with member players.  A Member Society is considered to be responsible for the required portion of bandwidth for the proposal, and is considered to receive dimensional and attribute adjustments as a member player would.  The bandwidth requrement and the dimensional and attribute adjustments are passed on to the Member Society's members, as if the Member Society had itself submitted a Society Proposal -- for example, if a Member Society is one of three members of a Parent Society, it would be responsible for 1/3 of the bandwidth for the Parent Society's proposals; if the Member Society then had three members, each of them would be responsible for 1/9 of the bandwidth.
