The purpose of the registration is to verify that the prospective Content Creator is a NET/BEECN/ATV volunteer in good standing with our organization. "Good standing" means that the volunteer has met their [[Minimum Service Contribution (MSC)]] in the current or previous calendar year, that no [[Background Checks|background check]] is pending, and that there is no indication they have run afoul of the [[PBEM Volunteer Code of Conduct]].

Approval as a Content Creator is not instantaneous. Please allow up to ten business days for processing, though PBEM staff will respond sooner as staff resources allow. Once PBEM staff approve the registration, the Content Creator's information goes to a Wiki Administrator to create the appropriate permissions under the email address supplied in the registration form.

Getting experience as a Content Creator is a prerequisite to receiving privileges as a Content Editor. A Content Editor can publish unreviewed changes to the Wiki. If a Content Creator wishes to have Content Editor status, they should start by sending an email to [mailto:Net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov]. There is no set criteria for an individual to be granted Editor status '''''except''''' they should have at least a couple weeks experience as a NETwiki contributor and ensure they are conforming with standards found in the [[Wiki Code Cookbook]]. PBEM staff will evaluate the contributions made to the Wiki by the requestor and either grant the status or decline and explain why their request was declined.
