Hello,
Could the following section be updated?
The proposal I have is:
Waze Champs are experienced and highly active members in map editing who take on the project’s leadership in their respective countries. Their role does not come from a direct designation by the Staff; instead, it is the community itself that appoints them in recognition of their track record and commitment.
Thanks,
I would like to propose two more paragraphs:
Waze Champs are experienced and highly active map editing members who take on project leadership in their respective countries. Their role does not come from a direct appointment by the Staff; rather, it is the community itself that names them in recognition of their track record and commitment.
Being a Champ is an honor, but above all, it is a responsibility. It means being willing to give something more: time, judgment, and service to the community. It is not about a title, but about a permanent commitment to the project and to the editors who make it possible.
If a Champ stops exercising that responsibility, the right thing to do is to step down and make room for someone who can take it on. This does not close any doors: the community can always reappoint someone as a Champ who was one before, when circumstances and commitment allow for it.
Regards,
We are in touch with a staff member who will help us restructure Wazeopedia and other things.
We will take your suggestions into account, but I don’t think this one always applies, as some of us are not highly active in editing because we are leading projects that enable users without that role to edit without issues.
Best regards!
In your case, you are involved in other projects, but you do perform edits. Staying active in editing is important to understand how this affects the community, since most things end up being reflected in the WME.

Additionally, ManuFC212’s name is misspelled (it says ManuFC122).

This discussion was replaced by the Ladder Builder that was conducted with the Local Champs. Although we aren’t necessarily ruling out your suggestions, this discussion has already taken place and been sent to Waze.
The most relevant issue is that there are no rules for Champs entering and leaving. Could you give us details on what was proposed?
Regards,
This has already been fixed, and I went over it with you directly.
The matter of Local Champs and coordinators is something the staff decides, unless someone decides to step down.
Regards!
They want to keep a group that isn’t working private…
On a personal note, I can tell you that the Mexico Champs group is functioning with a level of cohesion, empathy, and dynamism like I’ve never seen before. More united than ever, with a shared vision, and without egos or autocracy. I don’t know what you’re basing your judgments on, but I can tell you we’re doing better than ever.
Best.
This week I had to send an email to Mauro because there were 48 pending items, and several could be resolved by the champs (including you).
I actually base my claims on data and not just empty words.
Regards,
I don’t share your point of view; I think the problem lies in the methods and communication channels you use, because I wasn’t aware of any of those 48 pending issues—otherwise, I would have been happy to help you. Your approach might not be the right one.
Well, that means you either don’t read the forum or aren’t subscribed to the right channels, because all topics are public. Therefore, I suggest you contact the coordinators instead, as there are many pending tasks you could take on.
Regards,
Do you have an example of a post you could share with me that’s still pending so I can take care of it, as you mentioned?
