This individual needs your support cause I did not find many active members here doing it. If we can get a new merit source then we will not be feeling left alone as I did when I was trying my level best to get the local board revived. Please bear in mind that he applied only because he felt it is required at a time when our activities have reached rock bottom.
Thanks for posting the thread here otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it since I don't visit meta much (rarely once or twice a month).
Even I had been thinking that @TheUltraElite should be the right person to apply for merit source position as he's not only a high ranked member but also posses the right knowledge whether it be technical or non-technical.
He has been here for a long time now and I think he would be able to decide well which posts to merit.
I will be adding a supporting comment on the merit source thread too.
Let's hope that he gets the position soon and we see a positive outcome of this.
