The Recomendation Process

Letters of Recommendation
-----------------------------------
A. A citizen is eligible to write a letter of recommendation if they:
- Have been a citizen for five years or more
- Are NOT an ambassador's aide, Senator, or the ambassador
- Have not yet written two letters of recommendation during the
same year
- Are familiar with the applicant's history and current lifestyle
- Truly feel the person belongs in Cyrene--citizens, please do not
write letters you are not sure of
- Also note that only one of the two letters of recommendation
required for each applicant may be from a close family member.

B. Letters of recommendation should respond to the following questions:
1. How long, and in what way, have you known the applicant?
Did you know the person before they chose to join Cyrene?
2. Are you familiar with the applicant's history?
How does this information affect your view on that person?
3. Do you have any concerns, however small, about the applicant's
dedication to the Cyrene ethos? (CHELP ETHOS). Please note that
concerns you have will not automatically disqualify the person,
only help the Senate to assess.
4. Describe the applicant's general attitude and behaviour.
5. When you think of the journeys this person will be taking
over the next few years, do you feel confident of where they
are headed?
6. What should we know about the applicant that does not fit
easily into the other questions? This is your chance to really
speak your mind.
7. What is your name? Unsigned letters may be thrown out.

Answer all questions honestly.
