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.
