Hello,
of course you contacted 9 mentors out of 7 available. Its not naming and
shaming, its just figuring out where the failure in the system is. As you
did very well read the ambassador requirements, you can explain me surly
why your personal wiki page doesnt fullfill the requirements? I can not
find you email
And to your active and inactive thing who decides what active and what
inactive is? You? We have there ambassador who count as highly active but
they are just active during meetings, the job of the ambassador there is no
activity.
There is an activity control in place depending on the FAS everything else
is nonsense, I explained that once to Matt and Bex. For some successful
events I working here a year or even more and it takes a lot of time
because of the local problems. And I will not report each mail I wrote,
each call I made, each meeting I had so you cant see how much work I do. So
how you decide what is an active and who is inactive
