alt_billAlice and Remus:
One of the last things I did before leaving the Ministry was to grab a copy of the most recently updated Ministry personnel roster and another of the list of all the camps and their administrators.
I've spent the afternoon marking them both up to give you my quick gut-level reaction. I have tried to add illustrative notations about the ones I've had personal dealings with, to give you some context (précis accounts of memorable conversations, sympathies revealed by actions at work, who they're dating and why, and anything else that quickly rose to my mind as being germane).
Now, obviously we have to first stabilise things and root out the remainder of the DE and obviously we are not going to make all the decisions on running the country--other allied organisations, muggles, squibs, goblins, etcetera, etcetera, must have their say and will be part of the new provisional government. But I hoped it would be helpful if I gave you a rough (very rough) sort of my impressions of the people who have been running the country, as we are going to need a lot of help, and some of them whom we have reason to think are sympathetic to our goals must be included. We're going to fall flat on our faces if we don't get more people sharing the work.
Marked '1': the ones who, in my best judgement, are most sympathetic to the Order's values and would give us the most value and the least grief if we turn to them for assistance.
Marked '2': are the ones for whom I don't have a very developed impression, or my interactions with them are mixed. Not quite as strong candidates. See my notes for further details.
Marked '3': definitely not. Have proven themselves convincingly committed to the old Protectorate ideals, cruel, incompetent, strong family ties to DE and who have made it clear that they share their relatives' loyalty to the Protectorate (I'm thinking of Draco and Sirius here: I'm not ruling out people simply because they have relatives who served the Protectorate with zeal).
Marked 'DK': Do not know them, have never worked with them, have not heard anything about them.
I suggest having Rachel, Ron, Justin, Hydra, Jeremy, Nick and Tonks take a pass over the Ministry list as well (or anyone else I'm missing) who has had experience with Ministry personnel. I would expect Draco's insights be particularly helpful too, if he knows them from Lucius' and Narcissa's entertainments, or if he can add insights from any remarks Lucius made about various people. And you will want Rachel and her newly minted Aurors (very welcome news) to give the final word on vetting anyone amongst the MLE and Enforcers.
As for the Camp Administrators--given the uprisings over the past forty-eight hours, many of these names may have changed. AndKingsl bloody hell, Frank and Tonks and Remus may be able to recount more information about these people, from their encounters with them in rescuing muggleborn children. Certainly Davidson will have a great deal to add in terms of information, too, as well as our contacts on the button network.
I'll bring the list to Alice tonight; as I said, anyone else who has information to add, feel free to check with Alice and Remus to review the rosters. I've used duplio to make a number of extra copies so that we can be swift about our evaluations.
Alice, Remus, tell me how I might help you best now.
Afterthought: oh, and I can go back to the Ministry and pull any individual's performance reviews if we want further information. They may be very helpful.

After my service at the Ministry, I'm an expert at deciphering doublespeak.
