The guidelines are reasonable, but I would suggest that contributors be actively engaged with the Test Team and aware of current activities. For example, having a contributor badge from a contribution made a year ago shouldn’t automatically make someone eligible. To be nominated as a rep, one should be consistently participating in meetings and ongoing team efforts.

@kjnanda yes, I think that this has been introduced in the new version. Requirements are planned to be much higher than just a Contributor Badge.
