Dear Polkadot Community! As you might have seen, referenda 487 passed: Polkadot Ambassador Program This rewrites the rules and dynamics of the previous Polkadot Ambassador Program and as the community we need to address the next steps. The Fellowship is already working on the technical implementat…

Thank you for starting this discussion and topic. First of all, let’s clarify. We are just starting something really new, a new form of operation, a new way of working together, co-creating.

“We can use this initial list and fast track Senior Ambassadors to Head Ambassador status , in 3-6 months.” Not all Senior Ambassadors want to become Head Ambassadors. None of the current Head Ambassadors are seeded. We need to avoid a situation where unhealthy competitive traits could emerge to …

Indeed, I wonder the same thing… What exactly is expected of HAs? Have you ever seen salaried positions with no job description or objectives? Those who are appointed cannot choose the rules that govern their actions. Who sets the rules? Who controls their application? Shouldn’t there be at least …

I agree commitment would be good to be required. Also many people interested in the Ambassador Program ask details about it.

I mean the process on how it happens is “not decided fully”, meaning that it is still not clear where and how applicants will post or if there will be a template. Technically, yes it is decided the election will happen, but only on the lower tech level - sorry for the confusion if my message was mis…

Right, the mandate doc is clear, I agree. At the same time, based on our discussions with many participants who expressed interest in the Ambassador Program, it’s evident that we need to clarify the requirements for proposal submissions. For many, including myself, the application process feels aki…

[image] six: it’s evident that we need to clarify the requirements for proposal submissions. there are no further requirements. It’s essentially free-for-all. The only clarification you can bring is let everyone know how the voting in OpenGov will work so that they understand the process.
