D.4. Member Societies

A society can be a member of another society; the society that is a member=
 is a Member Society, while the society the Member Society is a member of=
 is a Parent Society.  A society cannot, either directly or indirectly, be=
 a member of itself or a parent of itself -- neither a Member Society's=
 Parent Society, nor its Parent's Parent, ad infinitum, can be the Member=
 Society.

D.4.1. Member Society Actions

A Member Society is considered equivalent to a member player of a society,=
 for the purposes of joining or being ousted from membership, and=
 performing actions as a member of the society, if the Member Society's=
 public rules state the circumstances under which the Member Society=
 performs actions as a society member.

Standard methods for performing Member Society Actions include:

D.4.1.1. Open Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or=
 potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may=
 post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is=
 performing.  If a majority of members of the Member Society other than the=
 posting member deny in a public forum the action posted within a=
 three-nday period, the Member Society does not perform that action;=
 otherwise, the Member Society performs the posted action as a member of=
 the Parent Society.

D.4.1.2. Closed Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or=
 potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may=
 post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is=
 performing.  If any member of the Member Society other than the posting=
 member denies in a public forum the action posted within a three-nday=
 period, the Member Society does not perform that action; otherwise, the=
 Member Society performs the posted action as a member of the Parent=
 Society.

D.4.1.3. Unanimous Member Society Acting

In circumstances where an action is required or permitted by a member or=
 potential member of the Parent Society, a member of the Member Society may=
 post to a public forum eir statement of the action the Member Society is=
 performing.  If all members of the Member Society other than the posting=
 member agree in a public forum to the action posted within a three-nday=
 period, the Member Society performs the posted action as a member of the=
 Parent Society; otherwise, the Member Society does not perform the posted=
 action.

D.4.2. Society Proposals

If a Parent Society makes a Society Proposal, the benefits and burdens of=
 the proposal are shared with Member Societies as they would be with member=
 players.  A Member Society is considered to be responsible for the=
 required portion of bandwidth for the proposal, and is considered to=
 receive dimensional and attribute adjustments as a member player would.=
  The bandwidth requrement and the dimensional and attribute adjustments=
 are passed on to the Member Society's members, as if the Member Society=
 had itself submitted a Society Proposal -- for example, if a Member=
 Society is one of three members of a Parent Society, it would be=
 responsible for 1/3 of the bandwidth for the Parent Society's proposals;=
 if the Member Society then had three members, each of them would be=
 responsible for 1/9 of the bandwidth.
