20 Man Keeper World Private World Rules Proposal: 

Each team may not have any more than 20 players on their 40 man roster at the time of the rule 5 draft. 

40 man rosters shall be trimmed to 20 by means of release, designate for assignment with waivers, or trade. 

Use of designate for assignment without waivers is banned until after the rule 5 draft day.

Upon signing, being awarded a waiver claim, or acquiring by trade a player with a contract with more than one season remaining, owners must assign them to their ML roster before the rule 5 roster freeze. 

If a player with more than one season remaining on his contract is left unassigned by the rule 5 roster freeze, said player must be placed on waivers. 

The owner of any franchise that fails to attain 55 wins in one season, 120 wins in two consecutive seasons, 190 wins in three consecutive seasons, or 265 wins in four consecutive seasons shall not be allowed to return the following season. 

Each owner is responsible to keep their franchise's minor leagues adequately stocked and free of excessive fatigue. 

Any violation of these rules will result in the offending owner not being allowed to return the following season.

Monitoring and enforcement of the rules shall be performed by the commissioner, and one or two "deputies" .  All owners are free to monitor and report infractions to the commissioner.

I am going to vote no with a caveat. I am in favor of the idea in general but there is a discussion on the world chat that should be addressed before we go any further. It has been suggested that the trim down to 20 on the 40 man roster must be done by the start of Free Agency and maintained through the Rule 5. Since Free Agents with standing offers from multiple teams will sign by the PM Cycle of the final day of free agency the only people that will not be assigned are those who signed in the PM2 cycles who were extended offers after the PM cycle that day. This should give everyone the ability to assign everyone and trim the rosters to be in compliance. It also allows the waiver process to play a role in the process by distributing talent on the waver wire during Free Agency which gives teams more options to plan in building rather than relying solely on the Rule 5 draft. Without a reasoned discussion of moving up the trim down date to the start of Free Agency my vote would be a no.
