Thanks for posting this, Ioana, I know this was not easy. However I fldo agree that this is the best, as in the past years the program could not live up to its promise and needs within the Mozilla community changed. That being said, I’m very happy and proud of what the Reps program has achieved. I’m still sure Ioana did not have any choice of approving my application given that Henrik and I annoyed her the whole MozFest weekend in 2012.
MozFest is also something very deeply engraved in my brain and I’ve always enjoyed the Reps presence there. And we also did a great job with Webmaker and Firefox OS. I’ve changed regional communities in 2018 so that was also an interesting period. But then for the last few years I couldn’t really say much, given everything that happened and how I did not adapt to that.
Congratulations to all current and Alumni Reps for what we all have achieved together since the program was created. We have moved the needle and regularly even were consulted for Mozilla board hire interviews.
While I think it’s fair to question the future of community involvement at Mozilla, I do not think it’s valuable to do a retro on the Reps program and focus on possible things that were done in the past (such as the community portal replacing the Reps portal) that led to this. There is not a single reason here and we can spend our energy in a better way.
I would suggest to rename to Alumni and also allow previous Alumni into the group.
Reps, I think we can still contribute to Mozilla in different ways 
It’s been a pleasure!
