Yes, but Live in USA. For Fedora in USA is more easy. What about the rest of
the world. We are Fedora too.

All the processes are so complex to make all. Become ambassador is complex
Everything becomes complex. including
the vote process. For new ambassadors are too much complex.

As for the number of meetings.  The meetings page says they are still

Not scrap! not at all. Modify the dynamics of the FAMSCO. I am not agree to
dissolve, but we need to evolve too...


What does an ideal Steering Committee look like to me?  A group of

> Ambassadors from each region to help improve the Ambassador group as a
> whole.  A group of people who are active on the mailing lists - both
> in supporting other people's events and ideas and bringing new ideas
> to the table.
