Jake has stated elsewhere that the Ambassadors will be selected from available
applicants, and that the Ambassador program would not be recruiting for
representation of all parts of the Globe or all countries. My guess would be
that there was a lack of southern hemisphere/Asia/Pacific applicants. I know
that many Japanese AFOLs are unable to participate on Lugnet and other sites due
to language difficulties. This is a problem that would be expensive and
difficult for Jake to fix in the short term. My guess would be that as the
Ambassador program grows, there will be a greater diversity in language support,
and thus a greater variety representation.
