[sudo-discuss] Constable amendment changes

[mattsenate@gmail.com]

I agree with the sentiment, and in lieu of suggesting an alternative at first, decided to ask for more thoughts, so thanks.

However, even if it is a process we do now, I disagree that (a) it is absolutely necessary for the exchequer specifically to do this rather than to support the overall process and encourage better systems to automate and (b) it need not be codified in the description of the role, but instead as documentation, best practices, recommendations, etc such as on a wiki page. Further, I would suggest if we did want to keep it in, that we think long and hard, but add it to the fiscal solvency process, for which we are collectively responsible, and the exchequer may be the first or default person to implement or act. 

Do you think it reasonable to make a new wiki page instead for exchequer operational insight?

In the second case, I added this because handling the money and being
authorized to use the accounts was key to my being exchequer, and will
remain so, and even if aspects of the processes of handling money are
delegated, distributed, automated, (it happened with wepay a bit,) these
basics remain necessary as a default.
