Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Steering Committee/Campus Ambassador Applications

This page lists Campus Ambassador Applications.

Workflow

• Step 1: A new ticket arrives. You will get an email notification (make sure that "New ticket notification" in your OTRS preferences is turned on). If the ticket is not listed below, please add it to the adequate section.
• Step 2: Each application needs someone who is responsible for the ticket. Usually this is the Steering Committee member who "manages" the specific university. Please add your signature to the list below (section "Owner") for all applicants who are based at universities you have signed up to manage.
• Step 3: Every time you review an applicant (at any stage of the screening process - application, Skype, or in-person), add a note to the ticket on OTRS. For example, after you finish reviewing an application (stage 1), add a note that includes the scores you give to that application. That way, everyone on the Steering Committee knows what the status of each application is.
• Step 4: Repeat Step 3 for each stage of the screening process - application review (stage 1), Skype screening (stage 2), and in-person screening (stage 3)...
• Step 5: Once the application process for the respective ticket is complete, change the section "Status" to either "Accepted" or "Not accepted". Close the ticket on OTRS. The list below will serve as a link archive if you need to re-open an old ticket again.
