Hello Judges,<\/span><\/p>\n

By now you have had an opportunity to read the various announcements from last week where Judge Academy (JA) was announced as a new Magic Judge Certification body.\u00a0 This company manage certifications, conferences as well as support community activities in areas that are supported by JA. However not all regions will be supported on Oct 1st, and the Legacy Program still needs to serve those regions until they are supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Legacy Judge Program <\/span>will exist in countries not covered by Judge Academy, and only until JA starts covering that country. Additionally, it will manage some of the global resources shared by the international Judge Community. Its goal is maintaining the levels structure in non-covered regions: certification and maintenance. It will be run by volunteers.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, we are creating a new position, the Legacy Program Coordinator (LPC).\u00a0 The LPC is a volunteer role that will serve as the de facto head of the Legacy Judge Program.\u00a0 They, aided by a small board of advisors, will be tasked with overseeing the operation and eventual sunset of the Legacy Judge Program.\u00a0 LPCs will have decision making authority when guidance is sought\/requested, and will be responsible for making sure that major legacy functions continue as best they can, and work with other volunteers to modify those functions when they cannot.<\/span><\/p>\n

To accomplish this, we are opening up applications for both a LPC select committee and the LPC role itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

LPC Selection committee<\/b><\/h3>\n

We are looking for Level 3 judges or L2 Judges that have held an Advanced Role in the last 12 months to join the selection committee. We are hoping to form a diverse group of judges who have good knowledge of the judge program, its members and its values. However, if we have more applicants than we reasonably have on a selection committee, we will favor judges from non-supported regions.\u00a0 If you are interested in contributing, please send an e-mail to <\/span>lpc-selection@googlegroups.com<\/span><\/a> by August 12th. Selection committee members will be confirmed soon afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selection committee members are expected to be available to discuss and evaluate applications between August 14th and August 21st.<\/span><\/p>\n
