One suggestion: > [@Minimum criteria for future HA's](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/minimum-criteria-for-future-has/7918): > > Hello everyone, I’d like to propose a discussion about the future designation of Head Ambassadors. As the position will be rewarded, don’t you think that candidates should satisfy some minimum criteria? Can you imagine a paid job in a company without minimum requirements, conditions? Do you have example of such situations in the real life? I’ve been thinking about a basic proposal to share about this, and I’d like to hear your thoughts not only on the content, but also on how it could be implem… ---

Totally agree! It’s not clear how it will be as effective, even so on the root purpose there is nothing about this issue … ---

**The ambassador program has definitely taken a wrong turn.** > [@Feedback needed: New Head Ambassador application requirement](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/feedback-needed-new-head-ambassador-application-requirement/8549/31): > > The ambassador program has definitely taken a wrong turn. All the efforts that the ambassadors have made over the years have been discarded as worthless garbage. The evaluation of past contributions is ZERO, respect for the volunteering for years- ZERO. Everything about the new version of the ambassador program is wrong: $10k rewards per month (its a salary not what initially planed - the vision of “Not Tech” Fellowship - Ambassador Collective - DAO - idea to support and develop the longterm… ---

The idea is that HA applicants can build their own “job description” based on their interests and strengths to bring what their philosophy says will help build the eco. No? ---

**Final thoughts regarding this new version of Program from ex-Head Ambassador.** I am out of it, and recommend people **not to join this Whale Ambassador Program** because it is not sustainable long term and you oppose yourself to community. > [@Feedback needed: New Head Ambassador application requirement](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/feedback-needed-new-head-ambassador-application-requirement/8549/44): > > Polkadot Ambassador Program = Whale Ambassador Program This “program” oppose several individuals aka Head Ambassadors supported by DOT whales to all ex-Polkadot Ambassadors. This “program” is not about community, onboarding new talented professionals, not about sustainable on-chain institutions, it’s all about serving whales and promote their narratives. It was a cool 5-year journey for me as a Polkadot Head Ambassador, which seems to be coming to an end.
