I think that is a great idea Chip. Having a non-admin 'mid' role I think would help a lot. I feel it also has the nice effect of something for people to aim towards. I'd hope it would encourage more. It also brings more hands on deck for allocating themes and making live. Which maybe would help admins?<div>
<br></div><div>John, I'm less keen on that idea of a month long residency. We already have team reps and admins, for me that fits the bill there. The mid role that Chip is suggesting makes more sense to me.</div><div>
