Its admin access, I don’t think the board needs admin access, damien or myself can do it real quick. (required info for new badge/existing badge at bottom)

We’ve done titles in the past, badges can give titles but are not visible until you go into their profile. Groups can also give titles. Last time I put everyone into the governance group, I can do so again. (As i’m not on the board, i’m not going to just do things without direction)

Just would need a list of usernames, and which badges to award them.

If you want a new one I need:
Name:
Graphic (Can use existing icon or something new)
Badge Type: silver/bronze/gold
Group: Getting Started/Community/Posting/Trust Level/Other
Description:
Long Description:
Allow badge to be used as a title: true/false
Can be granted multiple times: true/false
Show badge on the public badges page: true/false
Show post granting badge on badge page: true/false
Enable badge: true/false

The two existing ones:

Thanks. It would be great if you can assign titles. Titles and matching user names for 2023 are:

Governance Board Members

Officers

okay, everyone is added to the board group, and I removed myself and ev
Officers all have badges

You can control what title you want to show from your profile page. I didn’t change people’s titles

Edit: I really don’t know which makes sense here, a badge or a group. Both can be applied to multiple people. Can have titles. I guess the only win for groups is it comes with a shared inbox, and could potentially replace a private mailing list.

@NotMyFault and @uhafner you’ll need to add the governance board title to your profile. I see it on my profile as something that I control.
