I'm assuming you mean for becoming a global moderator. If you're talking about something else, then I couldn't say. Rose being one of the new global moderator leads me to believe that is what you're talking about. There's a group that decides who the next one will be. I had thought it was Fencer's decision, but he lets this group do it. I do not know the make up of this group, but I would think it is the existing global moderators. Perhaps one of them will let us in on how it is decided or alternatively who the group is. I'm guessing, but they problably choose amongst the people that asked to become a global moderator. I asked to become one, but I asked Fencer not this group. He said he'd refer my name to the group. A few days later Rose and Rod became global moderators. I apparently didn't get enough votes. :)
