Community deputies regularly review applications for a handful of programs on the Make/Community team, including deputy and mentor applications, as well as WordCamp and Meetup organizer applications. The processes for evaluating all of these applications are included in the Community Deputy Handbook.

When someone takes on one of these roles, in many ways, they are representing WordPress in an "official" capacity. So it's not surprising that a lot of care is taken in reviewing the application and organizer to ensure they fit the program's expectations. This can include things like:

• Checking WordPress.org profile activity
• Reviewing social media accounts
• Verifying previous experience in other WordPress-related events
• Confirming that plugins, themes, or other WordPress-related businesses are compliant with the GPL and trademark policy

To streamline this process, would it be possible to add additional stats and/or fields to the WordCamp and Meetup trackers?

As far as I know, some of these (like "Other community roles") don't have an automated way to track them. For those, adding a field outside the regular notes field can help more easily highlight this information, even if it's added manually by other Deputies.

If there's any additional information needed, or if this is too big of a request for just one issue, please let me know. Thank you!
