@NianticTintino Would it be possible for you to send a DM or some alternate form of communication to the selected candidates to alert them to check their emails, to help ensure that the candidates did get the email and know they were chosen?
Many people on this forum have experienced issues with Wayfarer emails and notifications for many months, and I would hate to have been chosen and not receive it if a similar issue might exist or if my bugged notifications are preventing me from getting that email.
We have sent a new batch of Wayfarer Ambassador Program invitations! Make sure to check your emails (those used to apply with) and don't forget to check the spam folder.
Or even create a post that is read only for everyone where those that are selected names are mentioned & they can also comment to one another & with Niantic staff. I think this would be a great way for the public to get to know those who are selected & to spotlight them as well because they deserve it. A lot of people do
People apply for a Program, they are elected and sent an invitation, they don't reply although nothing has changed in the little time since they applied.
Maybe no one was selected & Niantic is telling us they did when they really didn’t select anyone but hired some employees to act as Wayfarer Ambassadors.
A quick update regarding the Wayfarer Ambassadors. We have decided to extend the acceptance deadline to ensure all those invited have enough time to consider their invitation. As you know, we made some invitations from our waitlist earlier this week so we want to make sure that they have an equal amount of time to accept. We will now be making the New Ambassadors announcement on Monday (2/21/22). Thanks for your patience and understanding as we are trying to make sure this is a fair process for all.

dunno, i think your selección of the Ambassadores will be quite good. Just in case there might be a apple that has a worm.

For an example, my forum notifications have been bugged since April of last year. I know others have had similar issues long before mine started.
Giving these users a heads up would also give those who did not get chosen a little peace of mind that they arent just potentially missing the email.
i wanna say the above too, but I don’t want it to look like I’m just saying it cause I didn’t get an offer. Thanks for taking one for the team.
Congratulations to everyone selected

Safe Exploring!
So the time to respond is very short.. But as some people suggested here, why not also notify here on the community in PM?

Maybe there's a problem with the invitations?

We are currently working on selecting our finalists and will be announcing the first ever Wayfarer Ambassadors next Friday (2/18/2022)!
Hope we still get an update today!
Allonsy!
me right now.
The new Wayfarer Ambassadors are;
You two seem awfully eager to get this information out…
Just kidding, I’m super excited to find out who the Wayfarer Ambassadors are too!
You're all forgetting the most important question.
Are the new ambassadors getting Wayfarer hats or not?

This is confidential.... how did you get access to this? haha jk
..... no comment at this time haha
you forgot
In truth I am…NewAccount02 😆
Is this some sort of a hint? xD
vielleicht 😌
I'm so happy for those picked 🥲
Sounds like you’re trying to fool us into thinking you weren’t picked.
Well I still haven't seen an email, checked spam and everything so... Guess still waiting. 😂
Did I miss an announcement? And also, perhaps an email? 😢
Rumour has it that they were actually looking for AgentY1977. So close, and yet so far.
Only a year off. 😣😢
Waiting for this announcement…
That scene was heartbreaking
