How about Dolores as the first lady President?
Robert to head up the National Police?
MrMike HAS to head up Power & Energy,
Alberto (affiliate DR1er) as Head of the Central Bank,

I see your point with regard to AZB's experience in ANY form of affairs, but I think him more suited to "Migracion"!!
That would leave "Foreign Affairs" open for Golo!!
Minister for Culture & Art - Dawnwil
Minister for "Recreation" has GOT to come from one of the Punta Cana crowd!

What other Ministries do you need covering?? - Grahame.

Minister of Sport? Unquestionably Cleef!

As for Education Minister, if for some reason HB declined the position (HB for Grand Vizier!!! :p ), I would nominate Natasha (dcareamama). That's what her degree was in, and I've heard some of her thoughts about education reform, and I would feel very comfortable with her in that post.

Minister for technology?? Thebes - Grahame.

I'm flattered, Anna, but I suspect that Jaime (Caco) would be a far more effective Environment Minister than I. He knows all the players and his enthusiasm for environmental issues is second to none!

That said, if he ever needed a second banana at the Environment Ministry, or just a strategic advisor, I would answer his call in a heartbeat. Not sure how much help I'd really be, but would welcome the chance to help the DR in that policy area....

Good idea Grahame. Ken would be perfect for that. Keith I have no idea who you are talking about. Just play along ;) it's for DR1ers not the real DR

Anna, trust me on this one! In fact, I started a thread in my Forum on who should be appointed as Environment Minister, and I stated why Jaime should be it, in my opinion. He hasn't posted much on DR1 (mostly just on worm composting, one of his passions), but he is very active on a wide range of environmental issues and his family has a long history of such involvement -- even before it became fashionable. Rob, Dolores & HB know him well and can vouch for his credentials, as can many of those who have spent any time talking to him at some of the DR1 reunions in the DR.

Un abrazo,
Keith

If chosen

If appointed I reaffirmed the commitment to improving the conditions of the world's less-developed nations (The Dominican Republic) through the promotion of economic cooperation between nations and by providing financial and technical assistance itself. I believe that the best way of lifting poorer nations out of the grinding poverty - and the associated problems of malnutrition and primitive social services, transport, power and communications systems - from which they suffer is through economic development. The provision of private capital will remain the predominant catalyst for this but money from the United States, other nations, and the world bank must continue to provide assistance.

If you don't mind, I would like a post too. But not a cabinet post. I realize that I'm not well educated or sophisticated enough for such a high position. Please, instead, appoint me either as Consul to New York City, Director of Military Procurement, Director of Customs or Director of the Loteria Nacional. Any of these posts should suit my wallet, I mean the Dominican people, fine.

I might previously have asked for Director of the Central Bank, but having heard the crickets inside the vault ...
