Reps/Council/Elections/Fall2013: Difference between revisions
→Different Reps seem to have very different types of contributions. Should we make adjustments on the program based on this fact?

* '''Nikos''': First we need to identify this diversity. Currently we have functional areas, where every Rep can state contribution areas where she/he is more interested at. We should take this one step further and make it more visible. If I want to know which other Reps contribute to Webmaker initiative I should be able to find out and communicate with them in an easy way. Different type of contributions often need different kind of approach. | * '''Nikos''': First we need to identify this diversity.

* '''Majda''': | * '''Majda''': I truely believe that the reps program currently welcomes a broad scope of contributions. Being a rep isn't restricted to events or any other specific activity for that matter. This diversity is already part of the program and should be supported. That said, I would love to hear suggestions on how we can best tailor the program to suit different types of contributions, and even more importantly, it would be good to know which specific areas you think we are not supporting well-enough, and discuss ways to make it better and plug-in more resources to see them flourish. | ||
* '''Gauthamraj''': Yes , we have different types of contributions from different reps. I don’t think we need to make any major adjustments to the program apart from a mentor change and creation of SIG’s within the reps program. Mentor change should be like , Rep should be assigned to a mentor who has also contributes in the same area and from same or nearby community . I guess we are already in the process of having SIG’s within Reps .May be we can run a survey on this to see , what our reps think about ! | * '''Gauthamraj''': Yes , we have different types of contributions from different reps.

* '''Nikos''': Simply put a Rep should fulfill two important roles: a. Engage, welcome and guide new potential contributors. b. Support her/his local community. From budget/swag requests and event logistics to getting them in touch with other contributors. | * '''Nikos''': Simply put a Rep should fulfill two important roles: a.
