(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(After the first cycle, when the program is up and running, there will almost certainly be substansial help from the current Ambassadors... but (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) I think it's important to point out that acceptance will be based on more than building skill alone. Ambassadors will be chosen for their "all around" skill. If you think you would be interested in the program, have the time to parcipate, and (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
