Under the old system, the terms were fixed and the outgoing Delegate had no actual authority because they didn't hold the legal office.I may not understand TSP law in great enough detail yet, but what powers does the Delegate have that are not explicitly tied to holding the in-game WA Delegate seat that it would therefore be useful to designate an elected (but not yet in-game ascended) Delegate as the lawful Delegate in order for them to exercise? Besides mechanical powers that can only be done by the in-game Delegate (appointing ROs, voting in the WA, etc.), there are a few powers that the Delegate has (as far as I'm aware, I might be missing a few):

Given that, it does make sense that the date they ascend to office in law matters.

As this list shows, the duties of the Delegate are perhaps about evenly divided between ones requiring the in-game authority and ones not requiring it. The reason for making both the in-game and legal transition happen at the same time, then, is because otherwise you end up with a period of (often) over a month when one person controls some of the delegate's duties, and a different person controls others of the delegate's duties. But no one is really sure who to approach about which one. I mean, diarchy is cool and everything, but I don't think that's really what we're aiming for. ~ Aumeltopia ~
