Mentors Team Report 2018 02
The Team

The Team: Alison, Christian, Cooky, David, Diz, Jacqui, Jo and Leon. Sheila Little is the team coordinator Wanda is acting co-coordinator.
Andy Ludlow is our Board observer.
This Month
Mentors have now completed the last of the caretaker group moves to native hosting. We are now concentrating on helping other groups to move before the September deadline. We are also starting to actively recruit for some of the groups in our care.
If any groups would like help to move, please mail us at mentors@ilovefreegle.org and we will be happy to help. At the moment there is no queue, we can move groups quickly and without fuss.
Three groups were declared abandoned this month:
- East Staffordshire has been cared for by Jean for some time and attempts by mentors to contact the owner failed.
- Hastings was declared abandoned. The owner went missing before Christmas and hasn’t responded to emails, so Hastings is now in the hands of the Mentor team.
- Ashford was disaffiliated after the contact procedure failed to get a response and it became clear the group has not been moderated for some time, so it is now in the care of Mentors.
Mentors received an email from the owner of Durham telling us that he no longer wished to moderate the group, so we are now caring for Durham.
Some groups have been taken off the list:
- The Ashfield moderator has taken on the Nottingham group as the permanent new owner.
- Cambridge and Fenland have been taken permanently by the current caretakers
There are currently 41 groups listed on the caretaker lists needing new owners and 11 that are being cared for temporarily. These include some groups currently being cared for by non-mentors.
Since the lists began, permanent new owners have been found for another 42 groups.
