@Mia if you take this task, it will also pave way for you in your merit source application because if you can identify quality posts weekly, it also means you will make a good merit source.
Yes, as the board moderator, I will play a crucial role in determining who will be the next additional merit source, and the reporting thread will play a significant factor in my decision and how frequently the candidate sends merits to the board per post.
These would be some of my criteria for recommending the next merit source. Anyone with a keen eye for quality posts would be an excellent merit source too..
