Well, resolutions have created subcommittees for committees create by other resolutions, so I don't see why a resolution couldn't create a subcommittee for a committee that it creates (heck, it might have be that it's already happened and I can't think of it).

The rules for proposals specifically prohibit excessive campaigning, using words like "pimping," "spamming," and "hustling."

You're allowed to send one TG per proposal to each delegate, unless there's a message on their region's page saying not to do so (maybe not if their nation's motto says not to do so, either, although as far as I'm aware that's still officially considered to be a matter of manners rather than of rules).
Sending repeat TGs is out, unless they've actually replied to your original one with a request for further information that you're now supplying, and if you have two or more people sending TGs for a single proposal then you need to coordinate matters so that only one of you contacts each delegate.
Posting adverts for the proposal in forum threads that are supposed to be about different subjects is also forbidden, and so is creating multiple threads of your own to advertise it.[Not-a-Mod]

You can't have a subcommittee that has more power than its originating committee.
You can't have a subcommittee that has more power than the WA.
You can't have a subcommittee that goes beyond the scope of its original committee, or the originating proposal. You'd need a separate proposal for that.

I don't know that a repeal can be "undermined" in the same way that a resolution could be, should those referenced resolutions later be repealed.
Thanks!

It goes like this: say we allow HoC in repeals. We then get a repeal of Proposal A because of an argument based on Proposal C. Proposal A is repealed. Some months later, Proposal C is also repealed. Doesn't make any difference to A, since A is long gone. Doesn't make any difference to C. C's going makes a difference only to the repeal of A: it's now is based on no valid argument. But it was based on a valid argument when it did its job of repealing A. WA delegates are smart enough to read time-stamps.
So, since it doesn't make any real difference to the way legislation operates, you can go for broke. Fill your repeals with HoCs! See if I care!
