I think the rule should be adjusted to allow such programs and regional promotion - if a region is focused on the WA they should be entitled to boast about it.
They're allowed. I don't recall us banning them previously, though I may be wrong. It sounds like the kind of thing the GA would have prohibited.
Suggested change to 4b:Co-authors should use the in-built mechanics for recording co-authors, rather than listing them in the text of proposals. [Note: since this feature was added in November 2021, resolutions prior to this have co-authors listed in the resolution text, which was legal at the time.] Lists of supporters or similar are not permitted.
This introduces a new restriction - adding additional co-authors via the text. The coded co-author system has notifications for co-authors (they they've been listed as one, and when someone tries to repeal a passed resolution they co-authored), badges, and allows the co-author to withdraw a proposal without having to go via the Moderation team. Since that system is far superior, it makes sense to force people to use it.
The change looks good to me.
