Ambassador Program Rules

01Objective

The Stellar Chile Ambassador Program recognizes people who help bring the Stellar ecosystem closer to communities in Chile through learning, mentoring, outreach and participation. It is a space for community collaboration, not a general authorization to represent institutions or manage official activities.

02Requirements to apply

• Be 18 years of age or older and reside in Chile. Participation does not depend on nationality.
• Have a connected Builder profile and an active Stellar Passport account.
• Have recorded attendance at no fewer than five valid community events through Stellar Passport before applying; they may be in person or virtual if the program recognizes them. This is an entry requirement, not an automatic annual quota.
• Accept these Rules, the Tellus Code of Conduct and the applicable privacy notice.

There is no predetermined maximum number of places. However, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance: the review considers verifiable participation, conduct in community spaces, cooperation and alignment with the program’s values.

03Application and selection

Applications are made exclusively through the flow enabled in Stellar Passport during the periods announced by the program. The coordinating team reviews compliance with the requirements and the relevant information; it may request proportionate clarifications before deciding. Decisions are recorded in the program.

Approval is not automatic and creates no right to benefits, contracts, funding, scholarships or preferential opportunities. A person who is not selected may apply again in a later cycle if they meet the requirements. They may request a review of a record error or of a decision through the channel indicated in the notification.

04Voluntary nature and participation

The role is voluntary, unpaid and compatible with studies, employment and other projects. It sets no working hours, subordination, exclusivity, salary or obligation to pay for activities. There is no budget or automatic reimbursement for events by virtue of being an ambassador.

• Take part regularly, according to availability, in meetups, learning sessions and community conversations, recording attendance where applicable.
• Guide newcomers respectfully and share knowledge about Stellar responsibly.
• Contribute to community outreach through the means each person chooses. Posting on X or using personal accounts to promote activities is not mandatory.
• Voluntarily support activities that have been coordinated and approved by the program, only within the scope expressly agreed.

Each specific commitment must be accepted freely and clearly; anyone who cannot fulfill it must say so in a timely manner. For ongoing responsibilities or those subject to a volunteer agreement required by applicable law, an individual written record will be used.

05Scope of the role: what it does not authorize

Ambassador status is not an appointment as an employee, legal representative, commercial agent, spokesperson or representative of the Stellar Development Foundation. Nor does it authorize anyone to:

• Organize, announce or present events as official Stellar Chile or Tellus events without written authorization.
• Hire suppliers, solicit contributions, receive money from third parties or commit budgets, payments or reimbursements on behalf of the program.
• Create or manage accounts, communities, domains, pages or materials that pass themselves off as official channels.
• Use Tellus brands or Stellar brand assets in the names of projects, initiatives or social media without the applicable permissions.
• Promise admission, prizes, scholarships, grants, access to decision-makers or financial advantages.

Members may organize independent activities in a personal capacity, provided they are not presented as official, do not commit other parties’ funds or brands, and respect the policies of brand owners and of the venues used.

06Initiatives, proposals and official activities

The program’s official activities, collaborations and projects are coordinated directly by Tellus. Taking part as an ambassador is not an open invitation to submit proposals, request funding or organize activities on its behalf.

An official collaboration requires an express invitation or call, prior assessment and written authorization with a defined scope, owners and conditions. No conversation, suggestion or community idea constitutes a formal proposal by itself or creates any obligation of assessment, response, approval or funding.

Tellus does not maintain a public channel for receiving event or collaboration proposals from ambassadors. This does not limit open and respectful conversation about ideas within the community.

07Rules of conduct

All ambassadors must comply with the Tellus Code of Conduct and Community Participation. In particular: respectful and non-discriminatory treatment; protection of privacy; zero harassment, scams or spam; disclosure of relevant conflicts of interest; authorized use of names and resources; and a prohibition on presenting political opinions, investment advice or personal initiatives as official positions.

Professional communication and respect for contact boundaries are expected. Good-faith disagreements, transparency enquiries and legitimate reports are protected; they must not be treated as disloyalty to the program.

08Term, renewal and exit

Each program cycle corresponds to the calendar year. Ambassador status expires at the end of the cycle, unless the program announces a transition date. Renewal requires a new application in Stellar Passport; it is not automatic. The minimum attendance of five events is required for initial entry and is not required again merely to renew, unless expressly changed for future cycles.

A person may resign at any time by notifying the coordinating team. Non-renewal on general program criteria is distinct from a disciplinary sanction.

09Breaches and review

Breaches are handled under the Tellus Code of Conduct. Guidance, a warning, suspension or removal from the program may apply; a serious breach may require an immediate protective measure. Background, proportionality, absence of conflicts of interest and the possibility of reconsideration are taken into account. No one is required to resolve harassment reports through private dialogue with the person reported.

10Publication and acceptance

These Rules take effect upon their official publication and apply to new admissions and future renewals. People with current recognition will be informed of the transition to the next cycle. Applying requires express acceptance of the applicable version of these Rules and of the Tellus Code of Conduct.
