A Proposal must be able to stand on its own even if all referenced Resolutions were struck from existence; however, you may assign duties to an existing committee. Should the Resolution that creates the committee be Repealed, the committee will continue to exist, but in a reduced capacity.

I'd particularly like to hear from authors of committees here: are you so sold on your committee name that you'd regard any re-use of it as plagiarism, or have you gifted it to the WA s a whole?
My own feeling is that it's silly to revive a committee, when you can just as easily come up with a new name for something that does a similar job. Plus, specifying the areas a committee covers seems to me to help firm up a proposal in the author's and the voters' minds. However, I can see the appeal from a character-count point of view.

"Plagiarism" covers taking someone else's work and presenting it as your own. So yes, a proposal copying someone else's text would be ruled illegal unless the original author had granted permission onsite. Details are in the Rules under Proposal Stealing.Bananaistan wrote: <snip>...

Thank you.
I note that the rule states "[don't just] copy and pasted somebody else's Proposal" (emphasis mine). Does this mean that quoting from a definition from a passed resolution, even if it has been repealed, IE in either case is it a document which is no longer a proposal, would be legal? It's rather similar to using a committee.

My comment is: What you said.
Reusing committees from repealed resolutions: Yes
Plagarising the committee tasks: No (paraphrasing is okay, if it can't be avoided).
