Hi there, fellow South Pacificans,

with the new ministries coming in at the end of the current election, we'll be moving forward with this during the Cabinet transition. The timing is perfect for this - during transition week, the old Cabinet can finish its term with the ministries operating out of the old servers, while we set everything up so that the incoming Cabinet can have a running start in its new shiny Discord-offices when transition concludes. In particular, I will be working very closely with Cabinet at that time to get everything set up with anything that's needed - roles, channels, bot commands, what have you.

Here's a draft of what the structure would look like. This is based primarily on a list that Somy created a while back (many thanks!), plus some additional input and ideas from other places. The channels in the individual ministries are examples lifted from the old servers, and we'll work out the specifics with the incoming ministers during transition week (I suspect we'll have less channels there, particularly in the MoFA and MoD sections). All of this is up for discussion, of course - your input is appreciated!

Total previous text channels (not counting archives): 114
Total unified text channels: 85 (23% reduction)
A legislator not in any ministry would be able to see 18 channels (compared to 33 currently, a 43%
reduction).
