Legal changes look fine to me.

Comments on the forums: (if not mentioned, assume I agree with whatever statement was made)

* Minister of Communication's Office and Minister of Culture and Education's Office - not sure who we would transfer that to if we were going to. ;) That's a yes.

* Real Life Discussions - Don't really care either way there. Suppose that's an abstain.

* General Announcements - Other - this forum was intended to serve as a general bulletin board for the entire government and administration, it's not solely under the control of either the MoC or the Admins (hence the wide distribution of moderation in that forum).

* Minister of Arts and Entertainment’s Office - Other (sort of) - If we're scrapping the office, this forum should be sent to archival. So yes, it's under Admin control, but I'm just making it clear it's not going to stay where it is if the changes are made.
 
Hers, concerning the Real Life discussions. It did not make sense to me why the OOC forum was under Arts and Entertainment, and the RL forum was under Communications. By their nature, they're both OOC.

The reason for having the RL forum revert to forum administration is to treat that forum the same way as the OOC forum.
 
Ok. The only difference in how we'll treat it is that the RL Discussions forum will actually be moderated when necessary. ;)
 
Does this work? Unless I hear of any corrections, or additions/deletions, this will be the final report decoument for the Ministry Study Commission:
