I speak to Jipay from time to time when he’s online (haven’t seen him lately to
tell you the truth). I want to say that we haven’t intentionally discriminated
against EB, but we simply haven’t been able to take some of the people who have
applied representing that site for one reason or another, usually its space in
the group.
A lot of times when we’re putting the group together we’re torn between choosing
people by theme, site, or location. A lot of times location wins out simply
because if we chose by theme, we could easily have the group be all Europeans or
all Americans. Where does that leave many other areas. The spread is not
perfect to be certain. We also consider presence within a given market when
we’re putting the group together. This is why the US and Canada have a large
spread of people in addition to Europe having a large spread. When casting the
rest of the group we generally try to include other nations that have applied
and that are also good applicants.
Communication is a big deal for us and being able to talk to one another as
Ambassadors in a professional manner makes a big difference. That doesn’t mean
that everyone in the group has to have a mastery of English, although that is
the primary language we use, its just important that everyone is polite to one
another, even amidst disagreements, and there certainly are some of those.
We also have to make sure that themes are represented strongly, but that is
completely dependant on applicants (for location as well). Its another coctail
that we’re still practicing the mix on.
Anyways, that probably brings more questions than answers, but I do want to
point out that we’re not purposely leaving EB out, its just a bunch of things
that go into every decision.

I'd be grateful if you could at least mention these lads before the next cycle as nice patches for an uncovered section of the community, they definitely represent a different group of (...)
