== Purpose ==
== Overview ==


ReMo will provide a simple and structured framework to inform, assist and support Mozilla volunteers who want to become official representatives of Mozilla in their region. They will be known as Mozilla Reps (or MozReps).
The program provides a simple framework and specific tools to help Mozilla Reps be the eyes, ears and voice of Mozilla. Anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about Mozilla and who is ready to dive deeper into the project can sign-up to the program. The Mozilla Reps program helps push responsibility and authority to the edges, making it much easier for volunteers organize and/or attend events, recruit and mentor new contributors, and support their local communities better.  


A Mozilla Rep will have the following responsibilities:

Here are some things ReMo specifically aims '''NOT''' to do :  
The Mozilla Reps program is open to anyone who is:

* '''passionate''' about the Mozilla Project
* become a top-down ambassador program run exclusively by Mozilla staff
* '''knowledgeable''' of the Mozilla organization, its mission, its products and its community
* '''willing''' to communicate to as many people as possible and keen to inspire people to contribute to Mozilla


== Characteristics of the ReMo program ==
Although anyone can sign-up to become a Mozilla Rep, that doesn't mean you automatically become a Mozilla Rep after submitting your application. Because Mozilla Reps are entrusted with new responsibilities and special tools to manage budgets, events and swag, each application is carefully reviewed by the Mozilla Rep council and each applicant, if shortlisted, must pass a short a short interview before offically becoming a Mozilla Rep.

== Outreach ==
=== Mozilla Reps SOPs ===


Documenting the project, sharing it and gathering as much feedback as possible is critical to the successful design and implementation of ReMo. Tools and resources that will help to communicate  ReMo to Mozillians and the public in general can be found on our [[ReMo/outreach|Outreach]] page.
Mozilla Reps are involved in variety of processes and procedures, called SOPs, that ensure that the program works smoothly and in a consistent way. An SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is a written document or instruction detailing all steps and activities of a process or procedure. [[ReMo/SOPs|All Mozilla Reps SOPs are described here]].
