John, I think you have a great point there.

If the times where we won't need rules comes, that would be fantastic; but the truth is that there is a lot of contributors that join the Ambassador program to feel that they can help the comunity. I think that they should join the Ambassadors project by meritocracy.

So another question comes to my mind. 

1.- A contributor needs to be an Ambassadors to "get permission" to help the community and do events? (this is a question that at least 60% of the applicants I get ask for)

2.- A contributor should help some other team to get that meritocracy to be an ambassador?

So, for example. Should we explain better to the applicants that they don't "need" to be Ambassadors to be able to help their communities and groups? 

Taking the John idea would be a crazy suggestion and maybe I'm wrong, but we should encourage more the contributors section and make the people learn/do/teach something instead promote the Ambassadors group. For me, an Ambassadors is the same than a Marketing Team contributor :S
