Committee 0503 is a Ministerial Committee for the Democratic Federation of Exturbon. It is well known for being the smallest Ministerial Committee, both in terms of employees and budget, and for having odd objectives that often may seem to overlap with the duties of other Ministerial Committee.

History

The Committee was set up during the 3rd Central Ministry via a government budgeting referendum that was passed by the CMin unanimously and by the people with a 20% margin. It was named after the unit number of its allocated office space in the Central Ministry Office Block.

The original Committee was only allocated an annual budget of $2400 and had 5 staff, all having been former civil servants under other Committees. The original referendum that formed the Committee defined the Committee's objective as "to support the Central Ministry regarding matters pertaining to internal management".

Over the years, its annual budget has increased to $10,000. While there have been multiple petitions to dissolve the committee, none have gained sufficient traction among central ministers. Calls to dissolve the committee are often brushed off as an unnecessary act that would not justify the bureaucratic hassle due to the low profile of the committee.

Since then, the Committee has gone through many different changes in its objective. The duties and titles of its Executive Board have also frequently rotated among its employees.

The first Chief Executive, Lau Tang Zoe, was appointed to chair the committee after serving ten years in the Economic and Financial Committee as a manager of CMin's internal finances. In 2019, she relinquished the role to Mark May, serving 10 more years on the Executive Board as Chief of Operations before retiring.

The current Chief Executive, Ivan Kohln, was appointed to the position in 2046, swapping duties with the former Chief Executive of 6 years, Alexander Holmes, who is now the Treasurer. Under Ivan Kohln, the committee's objective is to "advice the Central Ministry regarding maintenance requirements of external government infrastructure".
