A discrepancy on a Reps application. Without any details we canât further investigate, you can share those in private if you prefer, with me, the council or anyone you feel more confident with. With this info we can work with the on boarding team to analyze and provide better rationale about this case.
Have emailed reps-council the link.

Reps in Indian not motivated about the mission. I would like to understand better. By definition a rep is a contributor who helps communities grow and be healthy, itâs difficult that a lot of people would be interested without being interested in the mission but if there are people like this, why is this a problem and as a result what are you seeing?
Yes, there are people like this. Why is this a problem? Because they take up reps role and do things antithetical to the mozilla mission. They are not inclusive. They are not transparent. They promote things that are against the open web. They use mozilla funded events to spread things that are against mozillaâs mission. They do not try to grow the community. They do not let the communities grow. They gatekeep. These are all the results that Iâm seeing.

Budget bugs not being open: This is a legal requirement (not to be public) but they are open to the contributors that need to have access for audit: The requester, the review team, the council and mozilla staff. Why is this a problem and how is this affecting you and your communities?
What legal requirement is that? I need reference here. Is it US law? Is it from mozillaâs legal team?
Can I, as a community member, request access to all such budget bugs?
This is a problem because we donât know if money is being taken in the name of events and not being used. We donât know if excess money is being used. We donât know anything. How can I tell you specifics of this problem when on the first hand I donât know who and how money is being taken and used? That is exactly why Iâm asking to make these open. If you canât make it completely open, make it open to vouched mozillians.
How is this affecting communities? I canât give you an example of budget bug. But I can give you an example of swags bug. Event organizers in colleges have been promised swags by reps who then had their swag request bug rejected. Event organizers have been kept in the dark. Nobody knew anything about anything. In the end event has happened without swag. If only the bug was open everyone would have known that the swags wonât be coming.
By the way, is there a legal requirement that swag bugs should be closed too?

Communications and feedback about the program being hard. This is the place to have open conversations about the program but we are always looking forward to improve, what are the problems you see with this channel, why they are problems and do you have any proposals to improve?
The problem with this channel is that it doesnât invite feedback from everyone.
