As much as many have been content to let the Committee flounder from mini-regime to mini-regime as judges rise and fall at the whims of the Wizards, it is no longer tenable to continue without vesting some appropriate figure with the trappings of ULTIMATE AUTHORITY. To reach this aim, the duties and privileges of our commander in chief or must be defined, eir title decided and some poor hapless fool must be appointed to this exalted throne. Each future rule must treat upon one and only one of the following aspects of this appointment: 1. it's duties 2. it's privileges 3. it's title 4. the name of the sucker who's gonna get the job Furthermore since no authority can be legitimate unless it is derived from another legitimate authority, every future rule must specify by whom or what it derives it's authority. VALID, since there's no reason not to be. A little unstylish to place all restrictions on future rules, and perhaps a tad long, but an interesting theme. +1 style.
