Joining is done as a Game Action so it would need to be announced to a
public forum anyway.  I'm not sure it makes sense to require a public
announcement in the second case since the agreement ceases to be a
faction instantaneously when it no longer meets the conditions,
whether we're informed of the change immediately or not.  I can
envision a situation where a faction has a single B Nomic player as a
member, the other members of the faction all want to cease any
relationship with B Nomic, but the person who would make the public
announcement to that effect could effectively override the decision
mechanism of the agreement by not posting the announcement.

I'll think of a way to change the proposal such that an public
announcement is encouraged by not necessary for, uh,
unfactionification.
