It a honor to appoint Joerg Simon [1] as FAmSCo Vice-Chair.
Joerg is the most active (if not the only) Ambassadors Membership Administrator and, of course, a fellow FAmSCo member. He served since the early beginning as one of the most active, wise Fedora Ambassador, he helped past FAmSCo taking care of all the membership aspects and giving his precious point of view.
He is a really important brick in the Fedora community and it's a really pleasure for me to share with him the lead of the FAmSCo.
Thank you Joerg to have accepted this.

Which begs the question, how dos one become an Ambassadors Membershp Administrator? I see no way to sign up, get voted in or the like.
Would you mind putting this process on the wiki, or if it is, point me to it? I'd love to help in this manner as needed.
Cheers,
Clint

I can only say how it was in my case ;) - I was invited by FabianAffolter the former famsco vice chair to fill a gap because ThomasChung could no longer maintain AMA. Traditionally the famsco chair or vice chair were "the" AMA. It has turned out that this "daily" work has to be done constantly and has to reported to famsco through the famsco-list.

Right now Fabian has to work a lot for his studies, he can not help me so much as he wish. Good to know that you are a candidate! The plan for 2009 is more automation and measurability and we will speak about support for AMA in the famsco Meeting.
Regards Joerg

The only Link i know https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee#Task_Groups AMA is recruited from famsco members and experienced Ambassadors by decission from famsco.
Describtion of Approval Process for Ambassadors is covered by https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join
The verification itself is done by the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification
Hope this helps

I agree with Joerg: Membership is a FAmSCo duty.
According to what FAmSCo said in the first discussions we had in the early 2008 (if I'm not wrong), it was clearly stated that FAmSCo has the power to "nominate/remove membership administrators". AMAs, infact, has to report periodically about their work: see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-September/msg00... ("Ambassador Membership Service collect and report to Famsco periodically for approval of the new potential Ambassador." and "AMA group is composed by Ambassadors and it's supervised by FAmSCo.")
Yes, in that mail it's not clear how AMAs are nominated. BTW if there are trusted community members (like who asked for this clarification) that want to join the team, FAmSCo should take in consideration this: remember we are a open process community and one more hands means a lot for the wealth community.
Here a final thought:
Membership is a FAmSCo duty, cause it's the only elected body, BTW, it has the power to delegate to trusted people membership administration. FAmSCo is the only responsible body for a good/bad administration of the new ambassadors: that's the reason FAmSCo is the entitled body to nominate administrators, just because it has to guarantee, as a community-elected body, all the Ambassadors.
That's all for now.
Best regards

Thanks to all famsco Members. Work is not always visible, without the help of you all and especially FabianAffolter i could not have done it so well as you say.
