This isn't clear in the proposal.  All the proposal says is, "The Backup Duty 
becomes active whenever a change has been made to the state of the game 
more than five days ago and a Minister responsible for presenting that portion 
of the gamestate in a Public Display has not updated that display or notified a 
Public Forum of the change. To fulfill the Backup Duty, a player must notify 
a Public Forum of the change and either modify the appropriate Public 
Display, if possible, or create a new Public Display with the corrected 
information."  Technically, this says there's a Backup Duty for every little roster 
change that comes up...meaning my unrecognized points and my 
unrecognized de-vatted status, being two changes, are two Backup Duties.  
You'd need to say something like fulfilling the Backup Duty consists of 
bringing all unrecognized changes up to date for that ministry.  Or possibly, 
even, that, if multiple changes did result in multiple Backup Duties, they'd 
have to be fulfilled in order.
