Team Representatives (or Reps) serve for approximately 2 consecutive years, using the first year to get familiar and the second to train the incoming rep.
The Training Team strives to have three team representatives at a time in order to ensure redundancy and diverse opinions in leadership.

The Training Team believes in fostering a sustainable community, and with that in mind, we ask that elected team representatives serve the team for 2 consecutive years. This allows team representatives to have enough time to get onboarded to their duties, own and progress the goals of the team, and also train incoming representatives.

Get access to the `/here` command by requesting in #metaMetaMeta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.
As volunteers, we understand that anything can happen, including the need to step away from Team Rep responsibilities. If you find that you can no longer perform your duties as team rep, please reach out to your fellow team reps to discuss next steps together.
There are times when folks need to step away for extended periods for one reason or another, but with the full intention of resuming their duties as soon as possible. For this reason, the team has opted to create an interim team rep process for absences one month or longer.
Team representatives will first reach out to team representative nominees from the previous cycle with the highest vote count, and whom meet the vetting criteria.
Should none of the nominees be available to step in, the current team representatives will seek an interim lead from our Faculty Member group.
Once an interim lead has accepted their role, they will start two weeks before the planned leave time of their predecessor and stay on for two weeks after they return. This helps ease the new team rep into the role, and ensure a smooth offboarding process.
No additional access will be granted to the interim team representative.
