Nobody wants to be called "minor" in diplomacy.  Wars have been fought
over lesser insults.  If that's the only other suggestion, then my
proposal will remain "other" :-o  The head of the OSCE mission here in
Ashgabat is a former ambassador and will certainly take umbrage with me
if her mission is somehow described as "minor".

I think we are past the point of calling diplomatic missions "amenity". 
We're now down to either "office=diplomatic" or "diplomatic=*"  There
has been broad consensus expressed that diplomatic missions are not
amenities.
