Beat you to it (see Drafting Table). I thought I'd included this in SO 2016-3 but I evidently forgot to. What I've proposed is the informal Prime Ministerial code for this situation that has been followed since SO 2015-1, and I don't see much point in altering it much.

Amendment 2 has been adopted.
