It’s with great pleasure I announce the next cycle of the LEGO Ambassadors.
There were a great number of applications, with almost all of the current
Ambassadors re-applying. The application pool spanned the globe, and were
chocked full of personal factoids, event recaps, hilarious stories, and other
LEGO Moments.
...
Thanks very much to everyone who submitted an application. The field was
incredible this time, and decisions were tough. Reading about all that is
happening in the community reminded me how amazing this community is.

This time around, are the ambassadors going to be given anything to communicate
back to the communities they’ve been picked from?
It seems that the first round were all immediately given NDAs to sign,
preventing them from divulging any information whatsoever.
The ambassador program has been used as a great source of information on local
communities of Lego fans, but it appears to have been a blatant one-way process,
with nothing being given back to the community. That’s not what I understand by
the term ‘ambassador’.
If these people have been involved in the development of the Factory system, why
is it left to a few ousiders to try and ‘hack’ the system to figure out how it
works? Why wasn’t there an ambassador ready to explain it the day it opened?
I can understand the need to keep some secrets, such as the new train
technology, but now the gist of it is public knowledge, why not have the
ambassadors opening discussion to canvas opinion? You may or may not be reading
the chatter in lugnet.trains - we don’t know - but surely it would be more
productive to have an ambassador pooling appropriate opinions from their
community?
It seems as though the only incentive to being an ambassador is to get
information before anyone else, even if it means you still have to keep everyone
else in the dark. To me that just seems the wrong way to go about it.

| (...) Well being an ambassador I want to try and shed some light on this. First we do have to sign an NDA. This is understandable given the fact that LEGO doesn't want information being leaked before a product gets to market. With that said does the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Sep-05, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
