As matters stand, it appears that this idea is a non-starter unless someone can come up with a brilliant idea that addresses the seemingly contradictory goals of

- keeping the identification process simple, fair and open.
Also the selection of and removal processes need to be addressed, in my opinion.
Personally, I think the TalkBoard should shelve this ambassador idea as a formal proposal for the time being. Instead, all interested parties should focus on how they can improve the environment of FT without such a proposal telling them how to do it.
