IG Lead
The IG Lead is the domain steward of μLearn. They own the quality, culture, and direction of their Interest Group and by extension, the credibility of every Karma point earned within it. They are not managers. They are stewards of quality, of culture, of community.
How to Become an IG Lead
IG Lead is not a role you choose by raising your hand. It is a role you earn through sustained contribution, demonstrated domain expertise, and community trust and then qualify for through a formal assessment process.
The assessment checks:
Domain knowledge and expertise
Community contribution history and Karma
Understanding of μLearn's validation standards and protocol
Ability to maintain quality and community health
Manual Intervention: IG Lead appointments and removals require core team approval. Contact [IG governance form].
What an IG Lead Is Responsible For
Task Library
Define, curate, and update the tasks and challenges in your IG
Quality Standards
Set the bar for what counts as valid PoW in your domain
Validation
Review and approve high-value or disputed PoW submissions
Community Health
Ensure the IG is active, inclusive, and growing
Talent Identification
Surface high-potential contributors for initiatives and opportunities
Who You're Accountable To
An IG Lead is accountable to three groups simultaneously:
The learners in your IG - for fair, consistent, timely validation.
The μLearn core team - for protocol compliance and quality standards.
The partner ecosystem - for the credibility of domain Karma that companies and opportunities rely on.
An IG Lead who is inactive, inconsistent, or compromises validation integrity will be reviewed and may be replaced.
Coordination Duties
Coordinate with Campus Leads for local IG activation
Coordinate with initiative owners when IG members participate in programs
Coordinate with other IG Leads for cross-domain challenges
Provide regular activity reports to the core team
Work with Think Tank members on task design and domain standards
Escalation Duties
You are the first escalation point for:
Karma disputes within your domain
PoW quality disagreements between peers
Community conduct issues within the IG
Requests for new task types or domain expansions
Unresolved escalations are passed to the core team with full context.
The Weight of This Role
Being an IG Lead means the credibility of your entire domain's Karma rests on the quality of your stewardship.When you validate a PoW you are telling every company, every mentor, and every opportunity that reviews that learner's profile: "This is real. I confirmed it."
That is not a light responsibility. It is the most important quality signal in the ecosystem.
