it’s very much in line with my vision! and it complements it perfectly. The idea of trying out the system in parallel seems great to me.
But it will take time to work out the correct calculation formulas. It’s not really complicated, but it’s important.
I hadn’t thought about that - I suppose we could establish an effective date for when the transition (or beginning) is scheduled as part of the election. I would expect it to be relatively quickly, but what are the situations you are thinking of that we should plan for / accommodate?
@scorpio2017 we discussed your points in the gov guild call today and revised somewhat. Article 2 Paragraph 2 now reads:
Selection of Apprentice Ambassadors. Applicants that have completed the Onboarding Curriculum and have been ranked above average in at least 2 successive Peer Review Periods will be automatically promoted to Apprentice after review by the Program Administration Team. A decision of the Program Administration Team to exclude an Applicant can be appealed through the Conflict Resolution Process.
We ended up keeping some sort of oversight as a check to prevent gaming and have some sort of human review, but it is simpler now.
Oh… I’m very glad that my thoughts were useful) I also think that every ambassador should have a specialization or connection to a guild, where he will be most useful. Therefore, when he becomes an Apprentice, he may express a desire to obtain a specialization or join a guild, based on his best skills
I’ll note that this might be a “nice to have” and not a “need to have”. But I’m considering situations where there’s an emergency, or a need for a lead ambassador to be placed very quickly. In my case there was a need from the program to fill the engagement lead role within one week to help onboard a cohort of new ambassadors. I wasn’t able to immediately accommodate the transition into my schedule and therefore we decided to fill the position with another candidate.
If there was a standardized process for lead elections during that time with 1. a lead time for the election to take place and a 2. period after the election for a lead to establish good standing with the sponsor, then I think this situation and most others would take care of themselves.
