Well, yes. If the rules use an English-language term and don't define
it, the meaning should be inferred. If the rules state that something
should happen but don't state how, a mechanism should be inferred,
especially if there's an obvious one: for example, the Emergency rule
states that the votes shall be tallied and the selected proposal shall
take effect; it's obvious that "the selected proposal" is the one that
wins according to the tally, as no other interpretation makes nearly
as much sense.

If you're in the middle of a road, a car is coming, and the rules say
"walk to the side of the road", don't stay where you are because the
rule doesn't say which side.
