Thanks for the invitation to discuss this important subject. First, I want to encourage all the users in conditions to apply to make this exercise in accordance to your own affinities and circumstances of time, abilities and good spirit. I can assure that the possibility to help others is one of the greatest rewards that one can find on the journey on this platform. The task can be as you decide and always adaptable to your own pace, you can define your goals and progress and always enjoy.

About the next phase I think both propositions about functions of the PoD members are not mutually exclusive. I think a frame of activities helps to organize and focus the work, but at the same time interconnections between different tasks could appear organically in accordance to the specific projects the members are performing. For example if one member needs some help from other members he must offer clear petitions and coordinate the efforts to achieve the goals, so the other members can cooperate in the optimal way.

I think the Steem Greeters are doing great work in the coordination and support for a variety of projects as curation, discussion, learning curve and communities, their recent proposal on the Achievement Program for new users is a good proof of that.

The idea of extending the program to reach even more support sounds great. Time, results and progress on every project will determine the necessity of more resources and support.

Thanks for launching this important initiative, I'm sure that every step, even little, is very important for all the community sharing experiences here on the Steem blockchain. My admiration and well wishes for every one on the Steemit Team!

Best regards!
