Community Roles/Community Ambassador

From Open Knowledge Foundation

OKFN may identify people as representative to and for the community regarding a Working Group or Interest Group.

Community Ambassadors will engage with external communities as a representative of the Foundation.

Where there is no-one better able to do so:

Community Ambassadors should:

• represent OKF's good name and ideas
• explain OKF's position as they understand it
• offer opinions on matters relating to their area at conventions
• work to get people involved with OKF, their group
• suggest contacts at OKF and in working groups
• suggest joining projects and joining mailing lists

Community Ambassadors should not:

• commit to OKF involvement, resources or (especially) finances.
• claim to be able to change or set policy without discussion
• procure excessive quantities of Ferrero Rocher
