This means that for the next 7 days,<br \/>\ncandidates will all have an opportunity to communicate their agenda,<br \/>\nplans, achievements as a Rep\/Mentor, and personal strengths, to the<br \/>\nMozilla Reps voting body. They are encouraged to use their personal<br \/>\nMozilla Reps profile page, their personal website\/blog, Mozilla wiki<br \/>\npage or any other channel that they see fit to post information<br \/>\nregarding your candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>To guide them in this effort, the Council has prepared 6 questions<br \/>\nthat each candidate is asked to answer. We had originally wanted to<br \/>\nhave candidates go through mozmoderator but due lack of time we will<br \/>\ndo this next election cycle. The questions are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are the top three issues that you would want the Council to address were you to join the Council?<\/li>\n<li>What is in your view the Mozilla Reps program&#8217;s biggest strength and weakness?<\/li>\n<li>Identify something that is currently not working well in the Mozilla Reps program and which you think could be easy to fix?<\/li>\n<li>What past achievement as a Rep or Mentor are you most proud of?<\/li>\n<li>What are the specific qualities and skills that you have that you think will help you be an effective Council member?<\/li>\n<li>As a Mentor, what do you do to try to encourage your inactive Mentees to be active again?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the spirit of innovation and to help bring a human face to the<br \/>\nelection process, the Council would like to add a new element to the<br \/>\ncampaign: <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/ReMo\/SOPs\/Campaign_video\">video<\/a>.
