Forum:Special Advisor of Non-Wizard Beings and Half-Beings

Hi all!

I don’t know if you were expecting a wiki-wide vote so soon of the back of the Ministry election but we (read: the bureaucrats) have a good enough reason to put this vote up for you all.

As you can tell from what the forum is called, this vote is concerned with adding a new title to the senior leadership of the Ministry. This will be wiki-canon and independent of the three senior leadership titles we do not use currently; Special Advisor for Elf Legislation, Exotic Symbol Analyst and Quill Control & Rune Translation.

The context behind this position is that we feel, after the events of the last four years IC, such a title would have the grounds to be created; especially after all of the candidates’ emphasis on unity and giving back to the half-breed community. So what’s the title, you may ask? The title we wish to add is the Special Advisor for Non-Wizard Beings and Half-Beings. Much like the title suggests, the person who holds this title will be advising the minister on all things to do with those classified as beings.

From the HP Wiki itself, the following are classed as beings; Wizards (hence the Non-Wizard section of the title), Giants, Goblins (inc. Dark Goblins, Pukwudgies, European Goblins), Vampires, Hags, House elves, Veelas and Werewolves (as people; the wiki states that their wolf form is a beast). Merpeople (Sirens, Selkies and Merrows) and Centaurs were offered the status but refused.

We additionally believe that, as there was a title for Elf Legislation and that was an ongoing issue during the time of the books, there would be all the reason for a title for the advising and protection of Beings and Half-Beings (exotics and half-breeds, by DARP terms).

We have proposed the following three options;


 * Option One: The Special Advisor for Non-Wizard Beings and Half-Beings will be added to the senior Ministry leadership team. This means it will be collectively included with the likes of other titles such as Senior Undersecretary, Advisor to the Minister and Junior Assistant.
 * Option Two: The Special Advisor for Non-Wizard Beings and Half-Beings will become a senior leadership role in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Whilst we believe this would be perceived as derogatory by Beings and Half-Beings, we understand that there’d still be a percentage of those IC who would vote this way.
 * Option Three: The Special Advisor for Non-Wizard Beings and Half-Beings will not become a title at all within the Ministry.

This vote is being cast OOC.

Thank-you!
