How about:

Publishing an office's weekly or monthly report, provided that no such
report had been published previously in that week or month,
respectively.

Good find! Yes, it is. That proposal would have accidentally required that
the report only be counted if it fulfilled all of the weekly or monthly
duties of an office; this phrasing avoids that problem.

Is this substantially different in any way from Proposal 8162 [0], which 
failed by a large margin [1]? (Found it while I was looking through past 
proposals, as one does). The circumstances probably are different now, 
though.

Though I suppose my wording is ambiguous as to whether you can claim
the reward if a previous officeholder published the office's report in
the same week/month.


To eliminate ambiguity, what about:

Publishing an office's weekly or monthly report, provided that no such
report had been published previously in that week (if the reward is claimed
for a weekly report) or in that month (if the reward is claimed for a
monthly report).

So this would now read

  * Publishing a duty-fulfilling official report: 5 coins. For
each office, this reward can only be claimed for the first
weekly report published in a week and the first monthly report
published in a month.

Seems a little redundant, since "duty-fulfilling" overlaps with the
second sentence.  Perhaps simplify to something like:

  * Publishing an office's weekly or monthly report for the first
time in a given week or month (resp.): 5 coins.

Though I suppose my wording is ambiguous as to whether you can claim
the reward if a previous officeholder published the office's report in
the same week/month.
