Clarifying role of Adblock Agent on https://acceptableads.com/en/committee/members

[ben]

Background

At the first Acceptable Ads Committee (AAC) meeting, AAC representatives said that the role of the "Adblock Agent" was not clear. They requested that we clarify said role on the AAC website.

What to change

committee/members

• Replace featured image with ​https://acceptableads.com/img/jpg/acceptable-ads-committee-structure.jpg

• Add the following footnote to the introduction paragraph

The Adblock Agent is a representative from an ad blocker product, who attends meetings in an advisory role but does not have a vote and is not formally a member of the committee.

They requested that we clarify said role on the AAC website.

There is no AAC website.

Replace the image at the top of the page with this image: ​​https://acceptableads.com/img/jpg/acceptable-ads-committee-structure.jpg

Replace the image at the top of what page?

Add the following sentence to the second paragraph under "Members": "The Adblock Agent is a representative from an ad blocker product, who attends meetings in an advisory role but does not have a vote and is not formally a member of the committee."

I'm assuming this applies to the committee/members page (please verify - I would assume the same about the page above, but that image is already at the top of committee/members). Has this text been reviewed by lisabielik?

The sentence doesn't sound natural adding it after "Below is a list of all current Representatives and supporting Members, broken down by Coalition."

I suggest making it a note, or separate it from the other text with an asterisk, i.e.:

The Acceptable Ads Committee is divided into three Coalitions, with each faction consisting of several Members. Each group includes a Representative and multiple supporting Members.

Below is a list of all current Representatives and supporting Members, broken down by Coalition.*

*The Adblock Agent is a representative from an ad blocker product, who attends meetings in an advisory role but does not have a vote and is not formally a member of the committee.

Also - is there any mention of "Adblock Agent" anywhere else on this page? I only see "User Agent" in the image. Is that the same thing?

@Julian, right this refers to ​https://acceptableads.com/en/committee/members
@lisa: there is no mention of Adblock Agent anywhere else on the page, just in the image. I like your suggestion of referring to the Adblock Agent with an asterisk. Let's do that.
