CGOV.14:2 - Problem

A plausible new charter or delegation can be treated as operative before the participants entitled to adopt it have acted. Conversely, an effective change can remain unusable because people, records or services still apply the old arrangement.

Several instruments can govern the same matter. Changing articles may leave a contractual consent obligation untouched; changing a committee remit may leave appointment and decision powers unchanged. The desired new rule can even be used to justify its own adoption, avoiding the stricter rule that currently governs amendment.
