Thank you for sharing , would you mind explain a bit more on IT Community Ambassador and what should an ambassador do? May be share some example.

In addition, in the nomination form (FY21 Humans of IT Community Ambassador Application Form) I noticed Windows Insider MVP is missing:

Please kindly add Windows Insider MVP to the list too.

Hey @Reza_Ameri-Archived ! We've now added "Windows Insider MVP" to the list and will be publishing full details of roles and responsibilities of the Humans of IT Community Ambassador program soon so that folks will know the scope + time commitment involved. Thanks for your interest!

Thank you @ShonaBang , I noticed it is Windows Insider and not Windows Insider MVP , I should mention that everyone with Microsoft Account could become Windows Insider but Windows Insider MVP  is just like Microsoft MVP required exception contribution to community. Therefore, to avoid confusion please add Windows Insider MVP instead of Windows Insider.

Hi @Reza_Ameri-Archived , if you read the question carefully it says "Which MVP/RD category are you in?" and "Windows Insider" is listed under that Q, hence avoiding duplication by adding "MVP" behind that since none of the other category options listed have "MVP" listed after them too - it's already assumed :) That said, if outstanding non-MVP Windows Insiders want to apply to be considered too, we are open to that as well, and we always verify if someone has MVP status or not when they claim as such, so no concerns there. Thanks!

Hi @ShonaBang , well you are right and thank you for clarification.

Good points and thank you for giving us such great opportunities.

fyi - your first link to Watch our Humans of IT video just goes to a generic Microsoft page.

Hey @Shawn_Aebi , thanks for flagging! Looks like the embedded URL got cut off; it's now fixed :) Here's the direct link to the video: https://aka.ms/HumansWithHeart
