I've been the so-called ambassador for a long time now, I simply thought it was time for a reappraisal.
The original thread was a bit of a small affair, so here I'm setting a post-election poll to give more validity to my current position, and a facility for determined opposition to get rid of me should they deem me inappropriate for the role.

To my credit:
> With Tomoky, I co-founded the earliest recorded British discussion thread in ED in September 2004, the British Stereotypes thread. Though it was later purged from ED and cast into the Chatterbox.
> With Illyrianth and Knightsedge I co-founded and paid for the Gaian British Guild which now bears four hundred member (post purges) and is not merely successful, but actually lovely too.
> Later, in March 2006, I attempted to return a British Stereotypes thread to the Extended Discussion with The British Stereotypes Thread which was founded on the back of a (then) recent survey. It was sent to the General Discussion, and remains there still.
> I am a common face in the Extended Discussion and most of the British orientated Guilds.
> I've always been more than happy to help out or stand up for people here on Gaia.
To my detriment:
> I enjoy setting the cat amongst the pigeons and am consistently courting controversy, mostly in real life but inevitably that spills over onto my online dealings.
> I could be accused of élitism, in that I only accept people of proven literacy into the GBG.
> Despite my strong presence in the Guilds and in ED, I've no real presence in the Chatterbox and only an occasional presence in the more niche forums, like the Writers' subforum and the Music subforum. Though I intend to remedy this.
> My project to create a Union of National Guilds (with the aim of it becoming a self-sustaining democratic organisation comprising all willing national Guilds with the aim of giving a voice to smaller national groups, who are often ignored by the powers that be) hasn't been nearly so successful as I had hoped.
