Runs Bartertown Main Admin Dan Rubinposts: 1040 | Hey everyone, it's ambassador nomination time again! I certainly think that this site qualifies as a community group, and we can nominate up to three people to be ambassadors. Please read the below message from LEGO, and then we can discuss. _________________________________________________________________________________ Hello LEGO Enthusiasts, We’re happy to announce that the nomination process for LEGO Ambassador Cycle 7 is now open. The LEGO Ambassador Program is designed to give the AFOL Community a direct line into the LEGO Company. The Program is essentially a gathering of community representatives that speak on behalf of the larger communities they are a part of. This group is able to bring forward the interests, concerns and questions directly to LEGO Employees. Who’s allowed to nominate? Any AFOL Community Group (online or on the map) will have the opportunity to submit nominations from their group (up to 3 people if they so choose). Not everyone can be selected for the program in order to keep the group manageable. If you choose to submit a nomination it does not mean that your candidate will be chosen, but it does mean that your group will have just as much an opportunity to get involved in having a direct representative in the LEGO Ambassador Program. We will try to get a diverse group of people who are able to represent the whole AFOL community as good as possible. Groups can certainly nominate someone already in the Ambassador Program, but the program has a two term limit in order to opportunites for more people to be involved. After a term out of the program, a previous Ambassador can be re-nominated (this rule only started with cycle 6 so all current Ambassadors are still eligible). A group that submits a nomination for the LEGO Ambassador program should be established and known within the LEGO Community. What should a nomination have in it? • Name and age of the nominee. • Where is the nominee from? • Which Group does this nominee represent? • Does this person consent to being nominated (Please do not submit a nomination on behalf of someone you have not discussed with beforehand). • Explanation of who the nominees are, what their activities are, and why they would be a good representative of their community (at least 3 testimonials from members of nominating group are required) • Key interests of the nominee (themes, building styles, and some examples of their building) NEW!!! • Platform – The nominations should now include a list of the goals that the nominee and the community he/she represents are looking to accomplish as part of the program. Remember the LEGO Ambassador Program is all about the AFOL community having representation into the LEGO Group, so this is an effort to have you think ahead as to what you really think would benefit your communities the most. When is the Nomination Due? July 1, 2009 by midnight GMT. If a nomination is received after this time it will be automatically rejected. The new cycle will be announced on approximately July 8, 2009. Who Should the Nominations be sent too? Nominations should be sent directly to -email- What might a LEGO Ambassador be committing too? • LEGO Ambassadors are committing to represent their communities interests to the LEGO Group. • There are projects that Ambassadors can take part in, it is up to the individual to decide what they may or may not be interested in working on. It all comes down to how they feel they can best represent their community. • Online discussions will be held for the Entire group of Ambassadors that will include members of the LEGO Community Team and other LEGO Employees as well. • In order to get the most out of the program you should be willing to give some time to in order to help discussions along. If you don’t give time to it then you may not be dishonoring the nomination you received from the community. There is no NDA requirement to take part in the LEGO Ambassador Program for Cycle 7. There may be an instance where a special project will come up and the Ambassadors may have to sign an NDA to participate in that, but it will take place in a separate forum in order to limit confusion as to what can be said outside of the Ambassador program. Otherwise, anything shared in Ambassador Discussions can be shared with the AFOL Community. This next session of the Ambassador Program will last approximately one year. Thank you all. Your nominations are very valuable for helping the LEGO Community Team choose the next round of LEGO Ambassadors.

| Runs Bartertown Main Admin Dan Rubinposts: 1040 | So, apparently I need a LEGO bio and platform. I guess this should do: Daniel Rubin is a long time space builder. He is the main administrator of the forums on classic-space.com. Dan is also a blogger on The Brothers Brick, where he largely covers space, mecha and sci-fi creations. Dan's Platform * Continued pressure on the LEGO company to produce more and better space sets * Continuing work on a new Idea Book project, which he proposed and began work on during the last cycle of the Ambassador program * Continued attempts at getting AFOL desired parts into production * Bringing the complaints of the people to the ears of those at LEGO who have the power to affect them -Dan NewBrickOrder Lego Ambassador | ||

phr43k Contributor Adrian Drakeposts: 1488 | I'd like to add our newest moderator, Brent Skaden, into the mix. I think he, or any of the 3 already mentioned, would be fine representatives of CSF. [ Edited Wed Jun 17 2009, 10:18AM ] | ||

| Runs Bartertown Main Admin Dan Rubinposts: 1040 | I think it's worth leaving nominations open another couple of days. Then we're going to need three testimonials for each nominated party. In order to leave time for those to be written before the July 1 deadline, I'm going to set a deadline of June 25th for nominations. Hopefully enough people here will be willing to write testimonials. -Dan NewBrickOrder Lego Ambassador | ||

 Peter Turner posts: 504 | I'd be willing to write a testimonial about you (Dan) and Ley if I knew exactly what I was supposed to write (i.e. a general idea of the length it's supposed to be). Also: Is it just me, or has this forum been lacking in activity relative to last summer? I only just started coming here again now that school's over and I'm back with my collection, and it seems far less active than it was before I left. I have come to survey your internets. | ||

| Runs Bartertown Main Admin Dan Rubinposts: 1040 | Ok, so it looks like we've got plenty of votes for myself and for Ley. We're in a tie right now between Andrew and Brent. I also haven't heard from any of the others about whether they are willing to serve. Would anyone who is willing plese write testimonials for as many noms as they can? The testimonial can be as long or as short as the author likes. It should basically just talk about what you think that person contributes to the community, and why they would represent our community well. Personal anecdotes about the nominee would be fine additions, but aren't necessary. @Peter - Yes, I've noticed traffic seeming to drop off, although the MOC announcements area is still very very active. I wouldn't be surprised to see things pick up during the summer, though. Thanks. -Dan NewBrickOrder Lego Ambassador | ||

 Peter Reid posts: 165 | Testimonials for Dan Rubin and Ley Ward: Dan Rubin has served the AFOL community wonderfully during the last Ambassador cycle. He is an excellent builder and event organiser, and a good friend. I'd love to see him stand for another cycle. - Ley Ward would make an excellent Ambassador for the next cycle. He is a regular face at events and a voice of reason and wisdom on the forums. He also knows some sweet LEGO moves. Ley would be an excellent liason between the AFOL community and LEGO.
