if it helps you decide weather to use koto ni naru and koto ni suru
i use this personally
when i say koto ni naru i see it as its been decided. put in a tense where its been decided by somebody or someone but nobody seems to care the point is its been decided.
and when i say koto ni suru it focuses more on who decided it
p.s who knows if im right or not, it just seems that way to me
take my advice at your own risk lol
