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.
It's main objective was to handle the DFE's public publications, however most that responsibility has been assumed by the Public Accountability Committee. Since then, the committee's responsibility is to publish the 0503 Newsletter and aid in editing the DFE's Information Wiki.
History
The Committee was set up during the 2nd Central Ministry via a 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 allocated an annual budget of $500000 and had 50 staff. The original referendum that formed the Committee defined the Committee's objective as "to keep the public informed regarding the Central Ministry's activities and stances".
Over the years, its annual budget has decreased to $10,000. While there have been multiple petitions to dissolve the committee in recent years, 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.
Responsibilities
The objective of Committee 11 has undergone many changes, often undergoing a change whenever a reshuffling of the Executive Board occurs.
