Continuing the tradition of our non-election elections, thought I would start a thread for placing nominations for the July cabinet and to bring up some issues:
For June our cabinet was:
President - ZargonX
Military Architect - Vondrack (also VP)
Master Builder - Kloreep
Foreign Minister - Nimitz
Enlightened - Tiberius
and our various ambassadors (some are vacant of course)
I for one would like to express my appreciation for the June cabinet and their excellent work as we have remained one of the strongest powers while still being friendly to most civs (one certain RP nemesis notwithstanding).
That being said, I think that it might be time to reorganize the government structure a bit.
For instance in talking with Kloreep in the chatroom, we both wondered if it might be an idea to now split the MB role.
Originally we had anticipated this possibility by thinking about a labor minister for the workers if the MB role became too much, however, Kloreep made an interesting suggestion: split the role but into a northern and southern MB each responsible for the planning of their own area.
I also wonder if we need to expand the role of the Enlightened somewhat. Someone once suggested to me that we give the decisions on slider control to this post and/or rush build decisions. We probably do need someone to deal with the finances as well.
Finally I also wonder if we should modify our ambassador situation. Currently our chats with other teams involve any combination of our FAM, President or VP. I wonder whether we should scrap the Ambassador positions in favour of a deputy foreign minister position (or 2 deputies) who would be responsible to provide a 2nd or more Lego voice to any chat if only one other responsible person is around and/or to be responsible for 2 or 3 designated teams.
Anyhow I would recommend a nomination period for the current positions for the July term ending between Friday June 27 and Monday June 30th after which we can have any elections that are necessary.
