How do we define Roles?
By fostering a decentralized, adaptive approach to role definition, the Ambassador Program encourages collaboration, innovation, and alignment with its mission while empowering individual contributors to shape their roles within the community. Proposal-Based Role Creation
Proposal-Based Role Creation
Roles can be established by writing them into proposals that outline the goals and activities of Workgroups or Guilds.
Each proposal is tailored to serve specific purposes and objectives, aligning with the overarching mission of the Ambassador Program.
Group Role Definitions
Within each Workgroup or Guild, team members define roles as needed.
These definitions often include particular skills, tools, or expertise required to fulfil their specific tasks and objectives.
Bottom-Up Emergence
Roles are not imposed by the Foundation or any central authority. Instead, they emerge organically from the needs and initiatives of group members themselves.
This grassroots approach ensures that roles remain relevant and are shaped by those directly engaged in the work.
Flexibility and Overlap
Roles are intentionally loosely defined, without rigid boundaries.
This flexibility allows for overlap between roles across different groups. For example, multiple documenters from different Workgroups may take meeting notes differently, reflecting their unique workflows.
Adaptability
Roles evolve to meet the changing needs of the Program.
This adaptability ensures the Program remains responsive to new challenges, opportunities, and member input.
