Well, of course there are arguments for that, but as I see it, Missionaries are mostly used for spreading a religion inside a country, instead of using it to spread it to other countries. Certainly in our current situation.
Citizens discussion...Minister of Culture.

But at the same time, you make the DoI responsible for recording the culture of our own cities. If the Intelligence Agency shouldn't be involved inside Licentia, then the DoI shouldn't be responsible for recording culture, imho. It should be given to the President or the MoI.

Err, missionaries are used to spread religion to other coutnries, because if you have a state SPREAD religion, then over time your cities will obtain said religion.

Once the Governor's Council was created, the MoI duty list went down. That's why I think we should just give him all the duties the MoC used to have.

That's the way it always seems. Just wait until it's up for JR, then everyone will be breathing down your neck for this and that. It would be nice if those same people would get involved in this stage of law writing.

Black Hole posted this several months ago. You need to copy and paste that here. You also need to fill in the appropriate things. After at least 24 hours of discussion after the final revision of that post, ask the Judiciary to review this thread and that post specifically. If the Judiciary finds that there was enough discussion about the amendment, the Chief Justice will post the poll.
This is a Citizen's Initiative poll for the amendment of the Code of Laws. The purpose of this amendment is to cancel the position of Minister of Culture.
This is a public poll, and will run for 4 days. For this amendment to pass, a 6/10 majority of voters must vote 'Yes'.

And could you colorize the changes like you did before? I don't exactally want to read both all the way through to try to find all the changes.
@robboo Yes, because I copied it, but didn't copy the colours, the parts that were red, are still in there.
@GeorgeOP the colorcoded version is just 1 page back, I can't colorcode this one, because the parts that are red shouldn't be in the new version.

Sure they should. When this is put into an actual poll, it will help people realize what the changes are. The poll will simply be a copy of that post. Although the color won't comy, it will help the CJ color the correct parts if that post is colorized.
And I still think Item 6 of the DoI should be the domain of the MoI.

Well, I put in
So the DoI only has to give it if a citizen requests it. And the Info can be found easily on screenshots of the cities that are there most of the time already. So the idea is that if there aren't any screenshots giving the information in the cartographer thread (Would have given this to cartographer, but it's an unofficial position), or in the MoI thread, or in the governor's thread, then (and only then) the DoI comes in, giving the information.

OK whats the next step..
It seems our MoC appointee leftwithout accepting..oh well...much as I figured( based on his past) but hoped to be wrong.
As of Now I will accept all necessary duties of the MoC till the end of the term at which point I hope this amendment is in the CoL
(making the necessary posts to inform our citizens)

The next step is for Dutch (the one that wrote the law) to ask the Judiciary to review this mock poll for possible turning into a real poll.
