For example, if NAMIRS has posted terms for paper submissions, and Smith submitted his paper to NAMIRS, those pre-posted terms by NAMIRS might be considered by a court legally binding (contractual in nature) if either Smith or NAMIRS tried to do something contrary to those terms after Smith submitted the paper. Such posted terms could be considered a contractual offer by NAMIRS, which if then an author submits a paper to NAMIRS, 'accepts' that offer, creating a legally binding contract.
Is a contract for publication in the Review between the author and BYU or the author and MI? Or are they considered the same thing (BYU and MI)? Would the head of MI have the ability to rescind a contract, or does that have to come from BYU itself?
Patience is a Guns n' Roses song that I like somewhat, but not an attribute I commonly display.
Your warrior facade notwithstanding, you are always very sweet to me. Thanks!

I suspect--but do not know--that NAMIRS is a part of BYU, just as your arm is part of you. That is, I doubt that NAMIRS has a legal entity existence separate and apart from BYU.
I suspect that BYU's administration has empowered the executive director of NAMIRS with authority sufficient to manage NAMIRS' dealings to an extent. I.e., to bind NAMIRS (and thus BYU) to a certain extent, and that would include authority to rescind a contract. It would be delegated authority, and defined by a letter of authorization and/or course of conduct. (I worked as a manager for a corporation for a couple of years. Much to my surprise, on my third day on the job, I received a copy of a letter from the CFO to the vendors my department dealt with on a regular basis. It authorized me to bind the corporation to contracts calling for payments of up to $5m each. I realize that my department usually had about $80m cash flow through it a year, but for someone 3 days on the job I was given unilateral authority to bind the corporation for up to $5m per contract? I've kept a copy of that letter as a momento. Anyway... .)
