But they can also override "the decision of the Judge". Normally this occurs in the context of a decision on rule validity, but the R.O.'s do not specify this, and I am of the opinion that this applies to all decisions of the Judge, which allows for the committee to overrule a crazy interpretation of the R.O.'s which does not affect rules directly, which I think is a good thing. So, simply overrule by proposal the decision of the Judge not to change the forum to place X, and the forum must change to place X. Aron Wall -- Rule Date: 2003-04-17 04:52:18 GMT
