I'm really looking forward to contributing to this important program, and to working with so many top professionals!

It seems like everyone is dedicated to making this program work.

Since I am member of the ProZ.com Certified PRO Network, I can't stop working and I have got more and more outsourcers which pick my quotes and visit my profile. Just amazing!

I like the positive attitude from all parties, I like the openness of staff and the flexible/quick adjustments.

I welcome the incentive to review my skills and keep checking they are up to date.

Been looking forward to something like this for a long time.

This is really a great initiative and I'm glad to see so many people joining every day.

So far I'm impressed with quality and detailed level of thought and feedback people are putting in, plus the fact that people are motivated by what's good for the industry rather than their own self-interest.
