I don't quite get the concept of the userbox templates, e.g. [[Template:UBX-RRSG-C | RrSG member]] and [[Template:UBX-ICANNREG | regular attending ICANN]] meetings.

The regular attending ICANN meeting badge is a bit pointless, because we then need to add it to almost everyone? --[[User:Arthur.hicks|Arthur.hicks]] ([[User talk:Arthur.hicks|talk]]) 09:33, 24 July 2014 (PDT) | I don't quite get the concept of the userbox templates, e.g. [[Template:UBX-RRSG-C | RrSG member]] and [[Template:UBX-ICANNREG | regular attending ICANN]] meetings.

Userbox Templates
I don't quite get the concept of the userbox templates, e.g. RrSG member and regular attending ICANN meetings. A member of the RrSG is only for registrars, therefore I don't understand why people have this "badge". The regular attending ICANN meeting badge is a bit pointless, because we then need to add it to almost everyone? --Arthur.hicks (talk) 09:33, 24 July 2014 (PDT)
Response
Great question. The Userbox templates are, for the most part, a "fun" thing we add to people's pages, but we do feel they are also important. RrSG members get badges because they represent their Registrar company in the Registrar stakeholder group and attend ICANN meetings in order to participate in this group, so that is why individual people have them and not companies. The "regular ICANN Meeting" badge we put on people's profiles who have attended many ICANN meetings, usually 10 meetings or more. The badge is meant to highlight a person who has been a part of the ICANN community for a long time. We have another template reserved for the few people who have been to 30+ ICANN meetings!
