Thanks for the quick replies.  Our habit had been that Lead Link proposals were tested like any others.

The question had really stemmed from the idea that as a LL, I am able to "...better express ... an Accountability..." (i.e., the accountability to structure governance of the Circle) by making a proposal, therefore all of my proposals are valid by default.  However, it is the act of proposing--not the governance itself--that helps the LL better express that accountability.  [@mention:544274267239861666], your reminder helped me make that connection.  Thanks.
