Yah, CGs have to approve and/or send the list to the OGB.

And I think that's reasonable for us here. In our case, since Advocacy 
sponsors the largest number of projects (User Groups) we have way more 
people involved than other CGs. And so we'll probably have more 
potential voters than any other CG. I think the UGs should offer their 
Contributors and/or Core Contributors in one email (in other words, one 
email for the whole UG) to advocacy-discuss along with a sentence about 
what each person did to earn the status.

So, something like this:

Name: John Smith
User ID: jsmith
Proposed Status: Core Contributor
Justification: Started the Moon OpenSolaris User Group and contributed 
x, y, and z over here and over there.

 Etc.

There is no official process for Advocacy. We never really discussed it 
here. We can see what others think, but I'd like to keep it as 
lightweight as possible.
