This changes a whole lot of stuff. First, it sets up a structure for distribution of money that is inline with how we have functioned the past two years. By codifying it we are able to pay Corporate Overlords through targeted allocations (which has significantly better tax implications than guaranteed payments). It also makes the Comptroller's role a bit more explicit, provides restrictions on a project's ability to create debt, creates a structure for projects to loan (or give) each other money, and makes the need for invoices more explicit. This also creates the concept of the BIFFUD Operating Branch which is responsible for setting up operating processes. This also adds a bit more clairty around the difference between a Project's "coffers" and corporate "coffers" while also changing the definition of Spoils of War to isolate project expense / income completely from corporate expenses.
This makes it so someone can be a Corporate Overlord without being a legal owner. This is important for folks who aren't based in the USA or who otherwise might not want legal ownership of the company for whatever weird reason. This is a change to section 0 and 1, so we need complete consensus.
We're gonna need it. Also this is often asked for.

Should Keeper of Lore be responsible / have involved in this determination?

| Only Corporate Overlords with an active (non hibernating) status at the time of the initial plotting session are able to vote, and the totals needed for a given vote are based on the active corporate overlords at that time. |

I think something that might come up as a question is if a Corporate Overlord misses four plotting sessions in a row but has voted remotely, does that still put the Corporate Overlord into hibernation, even though they've been participating remotely? I would argue that a strict interpretation is that the Corporate Overlord still enters hibernation because forms of participation that are not attendance at plotting sessions are not used to determine hibernation status. If this is the intent, do we need to clarify this?

This leaves open a possibility that a vote can remain open indefinitely, when:
- Not enough votes are cast.
- and the sitting Overmind decides not to close the vote.
Not sure what the implications of this, but it seems we should impose mandatory expiration on a vote? A vote will be considered closed after X amount of time has elapsed. (A week? Time between plotting sessions? A year?)
If this is too late to amend now I can propose this next time.
