"On Reasonable Doubt II:
If the suspicion that a player has broken a rule is formally raised (in
accordance with Rule [??]: On Reasonable Doubt I), and if doubt about the
validity of that suspicion is formally raised (in accordance with Rule [??]: On
Reasonable Doubt and within the time limit set by that rule), the List Owner,
or, if the List Owner is the player who stands to gain a country if the
suspicion is upheld, the other List Moderator, shall send a message to the
Pure_Nomic@yahoogroups.com e-mail list, not later than the tenth day after the
doubt about the validity of the suspicion was formally raised, stating whether
the doubt is reasonable or not. The message shall have the same subject line as
the 'Rule Broken' message, except that the phrase 'Rule Broken' shall be
replaced with the word 'Ruling'. If the ruling is that the doubt is not
reasonable, then it shall be considered for the purposes of Rule 20: On The
Breaking Of Rules to have been established beyond reasonable doubt that the
suspected player has broken a rule; if the ruling is that the doubt is
reasonable, it shall not be so considered."
PROPOSED 16th January 2003 by Jamie Johnston.
THIS PROPOSAL WAS AMENDED TO READ:
"On Reasonable Doubt II:
If the suspicion that a player has broken a rule is formally raised (in
accordance with Rule 28: On Reasonable Doubt I), and if doubt about the
validity of that suspicion is formally raised (in accordance with Rule 28: On
Reasonable Doubt I and within the time limit set by that rule), the List Owner,
or, if the List Owner is the player who stands to gain a country if the
suspicion is upheld, the other List Moderator, shall send a message to the
Pure_Nomic@yahoogroups.com e-mail list, not later than the tenth day after the
doubt about the validity of the suspicion was formally raised, stating whether
the doubt is reasonable or not. The message shall have the same subject line as
the 'Rule Broken' message, except that the phrase 'Rule Broken' shall be
replaced with the word 'Ruling'. If the ruling is that the doubt is not
reasonable, then it shall be considered for the purposes of Rule 20: On The

AMENDED 16th January 2003 by Jamie Johnston.

Now RULE 32: On Reasonable Doubt II.

"On The Overturning Of Rulings:
In any case in which a Ruling is made by the List Owner (or List Moderator) in
accordance with any rule then in effect, the ruling of the List Owner (or List
Moderator) may be overturned by the successful passage of a Procedural Motion
to that effect. Such a Procedural Motion may be proposed by any player, but may
not be proposed later than the tenth day after the 'Ruling' message appears on
the e-mail list. The text of the Motion must be the same as the subject line of
the original 'Ruling' message, except that the word 'Ruling' shall be replaced
with the phrase 'Ruling Overturned'. The poll on the Motion shall close on the
tenth day after its creation, and shall pass if there are no votes against it
when it closes. In creating the poll the creator shall provide an explicitly
negative option (such as 'Against'), and any vote for this option shall be a
vote against the motion. The vote of the List Owner or List Moderator who made
the original ruling shall not be counted. The 'display voter identity' option
shall be selected when the poll is created. If the Motion passes, any country
given to any player as a result of the original ruling shall be returned to its
previous possessor, if any, or else to 'available' state."
