I was usually the arbiter, in consultation with the outgoing BG. As lojmIt =
tIwI' nuv says, we were typically looking for someone who had strong intere=
st and showed potential, rather than someone who was already highly skilled=
. The prior BG would've asked to make a recommendation from mailing list me=
mbers as their tour came to an end, and I would send the BG info to that pe=
rson indicating they had been nominated. As far as I recall, everyone so se=
lected accepted.=C2=A0
I don't recall when the chain was broken or why. We seem to have doing okay=
without it, but there's no reason not to put forth someone for the role. I=
kept us on a 6 month schedule for a long time. This kept the BG from getti=
ng burned out, cultivated new BGs, and gave lots of opportunities for those=
interested. Anyone want to step up? =C2=A0
