Well, shipping is cheaper.  :)   Fedora Ambassadors in the US have our
hurdles as well.  Obtaining swag to give away is not clear cut and
simple, so even US ambassadors have hurdles.  In fact, at times I am
envious of some of the organization Ambassadors have in other parts of
the world.  There are some really good things happening outside of the
US.

Point taken though.  The Steering Committee needs to consider hurdles
that might be specific to each region and should be a hurdle in and of
itself.

This is a challenge the new Steering Committee could take on.  What
can we do to lower those hurdles?  Not all hurdles can necessarily be
done away with - but some could be lowered or at least clearer steps
on how to pass a hurdle.  I think a Steering Committee with community
input could make strides to solve these issues.

Evolving is good.  Maybe maintain a Steering Committe with a specified
number of Regional Seats for each region?  That would help make sure
each region's issues are accounted for and also helps with time zone
differences when newer Ambassadors have questions about a process or
hosting an event.
