CGOV.16:4.4 - Change one condition in each direction

Change an encompassing condition and determine what the constituent action must now do. A threshold based on votes cast and one based on all eligible participants can require different denominators even when the ballot marks are unchanged. A proposal changed during discussion can require renewed explanation or notice before it may be decided.

Then consider a limitation below and determine what performance above becomes impossible or unreliable. An inability to hear the amendment can prevent participation under the applicable rule; an inability to interpret an assumption can prevent informed judgement despite access to the report.

Use available knowledge for these comparisons. A new trial is useful when it can resolve the relevant uncertainty; it is not an obligatory demonstration for every connection.

Distinguish failure to meet an achievable requirement from inability to meet it with the available means. If required participation cannot be achieved through the available channel, determine whether another permitted procedure or a different time is available. An unauthorized reduction of the requirement does not repair the performance.
