I was uninformed ... so there is no need for removing Rahul. There is no
need for calling elections. All that is optional. I may suggest that we
can share the load if we have more hands.

I liked some opinions on the ambassadors mailing list from NA ambassadors,
saying that they do not feel misrepresented if there is not NA member on
FAmSCo. As pointed out, FAmSCo represent all ambassadors. I also was
trying to point out what specific task are for NA, and I found none. So it
will be nice to have some one from NA but it is not a necessity

So from my list, what we really should look to solve on Saturday meeting
are point "a" and "e". Other items are optional and not as urgent as those
two.
