I think it is a key detail actually. Because based on the Imm response, an Imm char as a reward for non-administrative volunteer work is a non-starter. Clearly, the only way to get an Imm char is to go through the standard Imm process (i.e., create an area, do in-game admin work, etc.). That is not going to change.

Choosing non-Imm-char rewards should probably go into the action plan, and a suitable "reward" could probably be a page on this website dedicated to the Non-CF-Imm Volunteer Association. They can get special posting tages like the Imms do (e.g., "Vol"). I know that on Dio's, several of the VIPs are extremely active and extremely underappreciated (e.g., Dur) and their only "reward" is the "VIP" tag on their posts.

Anyway. All of this is a tailspin of talk without someone willing to put out an action plan.
