I object. While Tailor does have ties to Legacy and I would be fine with
adding it, I think it is more clearly within Participation.

I'm confused. What do you consider to be the first paragraph of that rule?

If item (1) was part of the first paragraph, then the amended rule will
only have 9 list items.

If item (1) was not part of the first paragraph, then it will still be
there so that text will appear twice.

BUS: [Ministor] Intents to Flip Interest Switches

2020-10-31 Thread nix via agora-business
With the adoption of adMinistration, Ministor takes over Interest 
switches, and many of them have gotten some changes via the application 
of the rule. Both before and after those changes the distribution wasn't 
very even. So here's some intents to flip some switches.

The three below are just direct fixes to problems. Ministor doesn't have 
one, and PM and Speaker have duplicates of Participation and no Legacy.

I intend to flip, without objection, the following ministry interest 
switches to the following values:

Ministor, to "Economy".

Prime Minister, to "Compliance, Legacy, Legislation, Participation, Economy"

Speaker, to "Compliance, Legacy, Legislation, Participation, Economy"

The below are intended to be balancing. Currently, there's way too many 
Participation and not many of the others. Also, felt like Promotor 
should have 2 interests because of its complexity and to match Assessor.

I intend to flip, without objection, the following ministry interest 
switches to the following values:

Herald, to "Legacy".

Tailor, to "Legacy".

Notary, to "Compliance, Economy".

Promotor, to "Participation, Legislation"

Coopor, to "Economy"

Rulekeepor, "Legislation, Legacy"
