Aye

Abstain.

We've tried this in the past, and it's hard to find willing and active candidates. At this point we've passed so many laws that updating the Wiki would be such a long project that no one has expressed interest in undertaking.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Nay, cabinet offices are not established by Acts of Congress.

[West_Midlander]

Nay. Creating offices doesn't solve activity problems and more offices means inactivity will be compounded.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Aye

[Utah Neolib]

Nay. No one will want to fill this position and less activity does not equate to more offices.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Isn't it a better idea to merge it with another already existing office?

There has been some valid arguments in favour of "nay". So i'm going to change my vote to

Nay

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Changing my vote to Nay         

[Sirius_]

Nay

[Joseph Cao]

Aside from anything else, "up to 5" is somehow both ridiculously hopeful and needlessly tying the Archivist's hands in case more than 5 people "assist in his duties."

Good motivation but Abstain, people will update wikis if they want and when they want.

[PPT Spiral]

Nay
