> Add to Rule 578 the following @@@@-delimited text:
> 
> @@@@
> 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.
