    ambassadors are not really chosen, rather they come from necessity (the only guy we know that can do it)

    for example:

    joshy
    crasher
    sathonmig
    ayysolo

    Err.. alright.

    My idea of Ambassadors is someone who communicates at the official level of things.

    Maybe only have ambassadors from a board to UPSB, considering UPSB already is a hub of a lot of things.
    I doubt there would be someone fluent in both japanese and french, for a JEB <> FPSB guy. (that was an example)

    So my question is, is it necessary? There are tons of new boards out there, and using ambassadors is a great way to communicate to each one.

    They should be like in good standing on the two boards they represent, etc.

    And we could lump PDS/KPSA into one ambassador group thingy, and same with PSH/HKPSA/TWPS.

    Do you follow?

    What will Ambassadors do? Seriously, it won't be like countries or something. Its the internet. You can just pick up some one's e-mail id and chat with them or something.

    Fine, Ambassadors may strengthen the communication between boards but they have no 'actual' job.. O_o

    That's my opinion.

    I like the idea.
    It would be easier to know whats going on in the other boards, also, there would be no language barrier. I think it would be difficult to select the ambassadors - who should it be? A mod?
    It should be someone who is very active, so a mod would be good.
    You can just be more up-to-date.

    No, many mods are inactive.

    People like AyySoLo, Joshy, and the people Zombo named are good choices.
