To uphold the integrity and effectiveness of the DEP Ambassador Program, this policy outlines how we address cases where an Ambassador’s participation becomes inactive, misaligned, or contrary to DEP’s principles. 

1. Purpose

DEP Ambassadors are expected to actively support the program in alignment with:

• The Ambassador Collaboration Timeline agreed upon during mentioned phases
• Ambassador guidelines and media kit provided by Kambria
• DEP’s core values of decentralization, transparency, and collaboration
• This policy ensures fairness, accountability, and respect for all Ambassadors.

2. Grounds for Review

An Ambassador may be subject to review if any of the following occur:

For DAO-participant Ambassadors

• Inactivity:
  • Failure to share at least ONE personal sharing or reflection posts in phases 3 & 4 of the program, without prior notice or approved exception.
  • Failure to share ONE short reflection on your experience as a DEP Ambassador during phase 5 & 6, without prior notice or agreement.

• Misalignment: 

Sharing content that misrepresents DEP or Kambria’s mission, or creates confusion about program ownership or goals

• Non-compliance: 

Repeated failure to follow provided guidelines, use of media kit, or the agreed collaboration timeline

• Misconduct:

Unethical behavior, discriminatory actions, or activities harmful to the reputation of DEP, Kambria, or the DAO community

For non-DAO-participant Ambassadors

An Ambassador may be subject to review if any of the following occur:

• Inactivity:
  • Failure to share at least ONE Kambria DEP social media updates/ posts during phases 4 of the program, without prior notice or agreement. 
  • Failure to share ONE short reflection on your experience as a DEP Ambassador during phase 5 & 6, without prior notice or agreement.

• Misalignment: 

Sharing content that misrepresents DEP or Kambria’s mission, or creates confusion about program ownership or goals

• Non-compliance: 

Repeated failure to follow provided guidelines, use of media kit, or the agreed collaboration timeline

• Misconduct:

Unethical behavior, discriminatory actions, or activities harmful to the reputation of DEP, Kambria, or the DAO community

3. Review & Communication Process

• Phase Check-ins 

Kambria will monitor Ambassador activity during each program phase. Ambassadors are expected to submit links or screenshots of posts via the Follow-up Form. 

• Reminder Support 

Kambria will send reminders through Email or Discord Channels during each phase to help Ambassadors stay aligned with commitments.

• Final Review 

If no improvement is demonstrated, Kambria may:

• Place the Ambassador role on hold
• Conclude the Ambassador’s participation

4. Effects of Termination

If an Ambassador role is concluded:

• Their name, bio, and DAO affiliation will be removed from the DEP Ambassador listing.
• Kambria will discontinue public recognition or promotion of their contributions
• They will lose access to any Ambassador-only updates or channels

5. Reinstatement

Ambassadors who have addressed the reasons for termination may request reinstatement in future cohorts. Decisions will be based on program needs and past contribution history.

6. Respect & Professionalism

All communications and actions under this policy will be conducted with respect. The aim is always alignment and improvement first – termination is only a last resort when continued collaboration is no longer beneficial.
