I think this is something that has to be addressed for each case in which 
it might be relevant. For example, if you wanted your dispute resolution 
rule to work the way you suggest, it should specify that the votes are cast 
by 'entities which were on the List of Voters at the time the dispute was 
called'. I don't think there's any saner way to do it; the rule covering 
joining the game can't be expected to deal with every possible rule that 
might refer to the List of Voters.
