Could you be more specific about what is entailed by the TB and moderators "work[ing] together?" The proposed vetting process mentions only that mods "may" be consulted.
I honestly cannot figure out why a tiny handful of moderators are taking such negative positions to such a positive and enriching program.
Because the program, as written, is procedurally problematic. Ambassadors as such, no particular problem.
You're certainly entitled to a high opinion of your own proposal, Punki. But the characterization of those in disagreement with you is uncharitably dismissive. (Especially in light of the closer working relationship down the line that you've suggested ... )
