Second, based on merit statistics and merit circulation in Turkish local board so far according to merit dashboard, Turkey is one of the local board that has good merit statistics among many other local board. This makes me just curious what makes you so excited to be another merit source for your local board where I think the existing merit source are also quite active in distributing merit?
While it's true that Turkish local board is among the most merited ones (usually 2nd or 3rd most merited local board), you also have to take into consideration amount of posts written in Turkish local board which is also very high. When you calculate merit/post ratio, it turns out that Turkish board definitely has room for another merit source (not going into quality of posts there, speaking purely about the numbers).Below you can see local boards merit/post ratio chart for April 2022 (May overview should be out in a couple of days) and you can notice that Turkish board has below average numbers when compared with other local boards (both April and last 12 months), and numbers for May will be even lower so I am not surprised that @xzone applied for a merit source position.
