Everything that follows is my own personal thinking and may not apply to other people, including other bloggers on this platform. The new contact…
Who does the inviting? Is there some sort of a nomination process, or are invitations given out by executive fiat?
(Pssst -- I think ERV would be great addition to the family. She's fearless.)
"Are invitations given out by executive fiat?" Short: Yes. Most of the time we Sb bloggers do not know who the mothership has picked next. Competition is fierce, I understand, with many new applications coming in every day.
