Bureau 4: Public Administration
The Public Administration Bureau is concerned with the formulation and implementation of bylaws, personal and mass communication, and the provision of communication and IT infrastructure and gadgets.
The three agencies in the bureau provide community agencies and participants with cell phone connectivity (cell phones and network infrastructure), IT infrastructure (server farms, laptops, desktops, and tablets), and mass communication infrastructure (screens, radios, and cable services).
The three agencies play an important role in ensuring that participants have access to the right information. They also help the community to define its duties to participants, and participants’ legal obligations to the community beyond what the law in a particular jurisdiction requires.
Duties of Public Administration Bureau Agencies
The duties of the three agencies can be summarized as follows:
| Communication | Bylaws and IT Infrastructure | Public Relations |
| Coordinate interagency communication | Handles bylaws – formulation, adjustment, implementation, training, and alignment with the law | Community spokesperson |
| Provide access to communication services | Provides IT infrastructure – server farms, laptops, tablets, and desktops | Facilitate mass media communication, including monitoring and promoting self-regulation |
| Monitor communication and social media | Provide screens, radios, and cable infrastructure |
Shared responsibilities of agencies in the bureau
The Public Administration Bureau provides the community with a platform to communicate. Both personal communication between participants and mass communication, which includes the dissemination of information to mass audiences are facilitated by the bureau, through the various infrastructure that its agencies set up.
The bureau provides a means through which effective and quality communication can be achieved. Through its agencies, the bureau ensures that access to harmful or pointless information is controlled. The bureau closely monitors information, with its agencies’ automated systems being fitted with algorithms that while they do not curtail freedom of expression or the right to information, ensure that all information is beneficial to participants and the community. The bureau promotes self-regulation of all those who work in the media, and participants too. This includes promoting the formation of writers’ and editors’ guilds, which come up and ensure compliance with professional ideals. Participants are trained in effective communication and the use of social media and other channels.
The Bureau defines the duties of participants to each other and the community, as well as the community’s duties to participants. By agreeing to join the community, a participant commits to the bylaws and rules governing communication and media. In this respect, the participant enters into a contract that requires them to follow these rules, and also gives the community, through agencies in the bureau, the duty to help participants follow them.
Public servants and organization
Each agency in the Public Relations Bureau is served by a four-member executive presidency. Each president represents and serves a specific demographic: married men (A), married women (B), single women (C), and single men (D). The presidencies serving the three agencies come together to form the Public Administration Bureau Board, a 12-member body that advises individual presidents and presidencies and acts as an additional check and balance beyond the presidencies.
Additionally, each president belongs to a demographic presidency. Three presidents who serve the same demographic on a board form a demographic presidency, which helps in articulating issues that cut across the board and are specific to the demographic.
Executive presidencies set strategy and draw up operating policies. They also set up and monitor their respective agencies’ automated systems.
| Demographic presidency A | Demographic presidency B | Demographic presidency C | Demographic presidency D | |
| Executive presidency, Communication (10) | 10A | 10B | 10C | 10D |
| Executive presidency, Bylaws, and IT Infrastructure (11) | 11A | 11B | 11C | 11D |
| Executive presidency, Public Relations (12) | 12A | 12B | 12C | 12D |
Agencies in the Public Administration Bureau do not have operational presidencies. Branch presidencies instead act as an interface between participants and the agencies, in instances where the automated system is unable to help.
