[NOT Important] Council Elections - Automn 2018 - My Take

I still have plenty of questions about the program and different aspects of it. Which I just don’t ask because I’m lazy (and they are not blocker).
But a simple solution for procrastinators like me can be a F.A.Q on the Reps program. A real FAQ comprised of real questions asked by new on boarding reps like me throughout the period the program has been alive. Reps is a pretty old program, so I would guess it could have had a really thick FAQ section from all the questions different mentors had to answer (I guess sometimes repeatedly?). And pretty sure I would again ask something similar which somebody in past have asked and got answer. So the FAQ would help immensely .

We indeed have a FAQ at Reps/FAQ - MozillaWiki which is heavily outdated indeed. Therefore my question to you to list questions we have. This is something we want to improve in the near future and is on my TODO list. Therefore we need exactly feedback like you just gave. There is no way for seasoned Reps to come up with this as we are too deep into it.

On a broad level, the new restructuring (with functional, mission driven etc) has made the field even more obscure to me. I have very less visibility into what exactly the purpose of a Rep should be.

Yep, acknowledged and we should document these expecations and descriptions somehwere.

@rabimba

The wiki’s paint a very broad picture of what the activities of a Rep can be (which I would say literally includes everything). But if I take that definition, not sure how Rep at present supports those functions?

Another task on my list, the current Reps definition on the Wiki (as well as the Portal and other sources) are not 100% reflecting the Program’s direction anymore.

Thanks!
