Is this worldwide?
Yes, this is a worldwide program. Of course, it’s based on applications and
not recruitment, so if no one from South America applies, for instance,
there’s no chance that South America will be represented. The goal is to
have both the best talent from the community as well as a representative
distribution among countries.

So an Ambassador represent a geographical area then? How would the number of
Ambassadors be broken down, would it be one person in each major metropolitan
area One in each country?

Sorry, clearly I didn’t explain that one very well at all.
What I was saying as a couple of things:
1. We’re not “recruiting” for the Ambassador spots, so we’re not going to be
creating a fully geographically represented group of people. The idea is to pick
the best. That might mean that there’s a stronger weighting towards one country
versus another simply because there’s so many great builders there.
2. If no one from a certain country applies for the program, we’re not going to
have anyone from that country in the program.
3. Our hope is that we have an applicant pool from all over the world - which
would lead to a diverse group. But if only Canadians apply, for instance, we’ll
only have Canadians in the program.
Does that make more sense?

That makes perfect sense!
It sounds like a good way to choose people.
Although I wonder if some may discoruaged to apply, because they feel they are
not the best of the best.

And this is a good time to make a point: Being an Ambassador isn’t ONLY about
creating the best MOCs the world has seen. It’s about being a great Ambassador
(literally). It’s about putting on great events, being a good spokesperson for
the hobby, it’s about starting and building clubs, it’s about helping to usher
new fans into the hobby.
It’s about the program fundamentals (all of them) of building proficiency,
enthusiasm, and professionalism towards the public, other fans and the LEGO
Company.

Nope, application only. And the ultimate descision is made by the LEGO Community
Development Team. (After the first cycle, when the program is up and running,
there will almost certainly be substansial help from the current Ambassadors...
but not sure how that would work yet).
That said, including references in your application is certainly a good idea. So
are pictures. Or media clips.
