Is there a group that
is underrepresented? Speak up and get on board.

Eurobricks is without representation despite, I’m told, many of their admin
and founders applying each term. I think most people would include EB in a
list of the big forums but it is the only one completely unrepresented (Yes
ambassadors post there, but they only have a few posts each.)

This is an interesting question about how representation should be spread. I
believe that each fan should feel like they have access to an Ambassador to a
reasonable degree. That is an ideal that, from cycle to cycle, we should move
closer to. I believe Steve Witt shares that ideal and is working towards it.
A key part of the Ambassador program is the responsibility of the Ambassadors to
keep a visible and wide role in their community. By ‘wide,’ I mean they should
visit and post on as many forums as they can so that each of those people feel
they have representation. And a key part of that responsibility is to step down
when they are unable to maintain that level of activity - to give someone else
who is able and willing the chance to do their duty. A healthy amount of
turn-over will make the Ambassador program stronger.
Personally, I stepped down because my son was on the way and I knew I wouldn’t
have the time to give. I’m not going to re-apply anytime soon because I feel
adequately represented - I have several friends who are Ambassadors and I know
they share my thoughts and concerns. It is better, IMHO, to give more people a
chance by not including my name in the pool that TLG has to choose from.
A second duty of Ambassadors should be informing TLG about the next generation
of community - to help guide the community and the company closer together. I’m
off topic now, but one of the biggest things I did while an Ambassador was to
recommend Nathan Wells to help the Castle 2007 team. He turned out to be very
important in the process, and made the end result much better.
