Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
13 Change of name
(1) A registered society may change its name if— (a) a resolution for that purpose is passed at a general meeting of the society, appropriate notice of the resolution having been given, and (b) the FCA gives its approval in writing to the change of name. (2) “Appropriate notice” means— (a) the notice required by the society's rules for a resolution changing its name, or (b) if the rules do not make special provision about the notice for such resolutions, the notice required by the rules for a resolution to amend the rules. (3) A change in the name of a registered society does not affect any right or obligation of the society or of any member (and any pending legal proceedings may be continued by or against the society notwithstanding its new name).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
