FAQ: Global Gatherings

More questions that we have received on the Council Alias (copy/pasted):

  • why we are having this program. Isn’t the reps supposed to do so. Mentors are not considered as leaders too?
  • Is this going to replace the Reps program in the future?
  • there are known mozillians that they are leaders in certain functional groups such as l10n, SUMO, etc… what if these people decided not join this program? does this going to affect their relation with the functional team? what if others applied to this, are they going to be the “Official” leaders and the others are not?
  • How is the relation between these leaders and the local community is going to be? Each community has their own leaders now, Why Mozilla now want to choose or “officially” identify these leaders not the communities themselves?!
  • Can the functional team nominate people even if they didn’t apply to the program?
