That to me makes it feel like it would fit into the SOP (Standard
Operating Procedure) mould quite well - just as we currently use for
membership of the Bugzappers group.

It looks nice - clean and relatively simple. It does have some slightly
hand-wavy bits, like 'Once these steps are complete and your mentor
feels you versed enough in the processes and methods of the QA
Community'. We might want to make that a bit more concrete, as I'm sure
you considered too. But I like it so far. Thanks a lot!
