Governance

Ambassador Steering Team (aka A-team)

The A-Team is the Ambassadors Program's 7-member governing body. The A-Team is tasked to ensure that the Ambassadors program runs smoothly and that Ambassadors are fully supported. 

Comprised of staff and volunteers, the A-Team has the following duties and functions:

• review and accept/reject applications to the program
• onboard, mentor and assist Ambassadors worldwide
• oversee and support Ambassador activities 
• oversee the program’s finances 
• oversee the production and distribution of swag
• oversee nomination and process to elect new A-Team members
• resolve disputes
• help provide guidance and inspiration for Mozilla Reps
• serve as advisors in strategic decision making at the organizational level

Electing members of the A-Team

While the program is in its BETA phase, the 7 Ambassadors who are currently part of the A-Team have self-selected to join the team. When the program officially launches in June, this will be the beginning of their 6 month term, after which, some members will voluntarily step down from the team while others are elected through an election process open to all active Ambassadors. Once elected, a new A-Team member must complete a term of 12-month.

Elections will be held every 6 months for 4 or 3 positions that are open. Eligibility and criteria based are:

• candidate should be an active Ambassador
• Email responsiveness should be less than 48 hours
• Commitment to attend bi-weekly A-Team meetings
• Availability to travel
• Proficiency in English is required
• Minimum 1 year experience contributing to the ONOS project is a plus
