I'm happy to be the first to say congratulations to all of those who were
selected and to all of those who put forth their name and offered their time!
It looks like the new system of choosing Ambassadors has worked out very well.
I see a few countries that I haven't seen before, and it looks like their is a
good distribution of interests between the themes of building.
Congratulations!
Scott

I want to point out that I screwed up the FTX on the first post and that
Andrew Bulthaupt, USA – BZPower
is also going to be a part of the program. Congrats Andrew! Thanks for the
kind words concerning the new process Scott. We’re truly aiming to make the
program allow more people to be involved and to allow more people to feel
represented. We got so many good nominations that it was definately hard to
narrow it down.

Better late than never. ;-) I know most of you probably haven’t heard of me too
much, but I hope to work to change that during my tenure as an Ambassador.
Congratulations to everyone else, I look forward to working with you and the
rest of the community!

Congratulations LEGO Ambassadors!
I know several of you thru EMAIL discussions.
If any of you want to know the background history of LEGO back to 1949, please
contact me at istokg@earthlink.net. (don’t worry about my spamblocker!)
I might have something you would be interested in. :-)
My good friend Fernando Correia in Portugal knows exactly what I’m talking
about! :-)
Good Luck to all of you!!

Thanks :) Also looking forward to it! And, like Sir Tim, I too hope I will
be useful to the other not mentioned communities as well, in which I've been
an active (or, at least up to now, passive) member.
Cheers,
Matija

I´m better known as copmike in the community. I´d like to congratulate all the
new ambassadors and encourage the ones that didn´t make it this time to try
again next cycle. I´m sure the future will be great for all AFOL´s and that we
together with LEGO will make great things happen!

Hi Gary,
thanks for the kind words!
I am in fact very excited with this appointment and look forward to make a good
job representing the Portuguese LEGO community in particular and others in
general.
Also congratulations for all the other LA Program appointed members, and wishes
of a good team work.
Best regards,
Fernando

Congratulations to all of the Cycle 6 Ambassadors, and thank you to everyone who
applied! It’s great to know that there is so much interest in the LEGO
Ambassador program from clubs all around the world. I am looking forward to
being a part of the Ambassadors and to serving the LEGO fan community!

0937 Community is well represented by Tania now and also in the previous cycle.

Many??
For example in our last event there were only two members that belong to both
communities. You are ignoring all others who are active in 0937Community, who
build a lot, who attend our events?
In total, it doesn’t even reach two full hands the active members belonging to
both...

I too am at a loss about what this CTOP means:
NTRAFORARF
If you could spare the time and wish to not make it public, I sure would
appreciate it if you’d fire off an email to me. My curiosity level would kill a
cat in nanoseconds.

Despite being the CTOP List Administrator, this one has me stumped to.
I’m thinking it could be something like Not That Representing A Forum Or
Region.....
Also, there is the possibility that this is the first recorded ATOP
(Anticommunitarian Turn Of Phrase).
