I think the operative term here is "active boost member". What is an active Boost member? Is it someone who has submitted and is maintaining
That's a good point.
I've volunteered three times. I even volunteered to be a co-manager so I could learn the "behind the scenes" requirements. I never received a reason why I was not picked. I figured it was because I am not considered an "active boost member." Or maybe I have offended too many people in the past... or I have demonstrated too much ignorance on one or more topics... or, gasp, could it be, someone else was more qualified ;-)
In any event, after the third silent rejection, with no explanation, I "got the message," and stopped volunteering.
That's a real shame.
The review manager does have a fair amount of authority, especially in reviews which are not clear cut one way or another. So, it can't just be given to anyone who asks... though maybe there should be some explanation given to those who are not picked, and maybe some kind of "training roadmap" provided for those interested.
Great ideas. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
