Do you mean that one Minister would recognize things while another 
maintained the ruleset? At the moment, recognizing and numbering is in 
general the job of whoever tracks what's being recognized, so the 
Chairman recognizes and numbers proposals, the Attorney Generalist 
recognizes and numbers CFIs, etc.

At the moment the role of 'Admin' has three primary parts:
1) I track the ruleset.
2) I maintain the website.
3) I do everything that nobody else is responsible for, including 
recognizing new players, doing the duties of Open Ministries, and 
recognizing anything that so far has no Ministry.

So I'm a GM, a webmaster, and a little nervous guy with a towel running 
around cleaning things up and writing things down all at once.

These three duties would be a better division of the Adminship, I think 
- the Minister of Rules (the GM), the Minister of Access (the 
Webmaster) and the Minister of Odds and Ends (the Little Nervous Guy).

The way things are going, I suspect Tildex is going to become a fairly 
busy ministry soon. But Quotes is definitely paying me more than I 
deserve for my Quotes work... Somebody quote somebody!

I agree. It would also be cool to let current Ministers call elections 
for their ministries without leaving them, so that if somebody wants to 
quit a Ministry they can call an election instead of leaving it Open 
for an nweek.
