Hi!
To me "regions" means "APAC, EMEA, LATAM & NA". i ever
considered a
different meaning to this word (in this particular situation). Maybe
I'm wrong?
Kind regards,Silvia

Hi,
I think there is only one lazy definition here: "Region". I think it
will be more clear if we define that word, because on the top of my
head it can means 4 slightly different things:
Region: "Ambassadors of a specific region, where regions are: APAC,
LATAM, NA and EMEA".
Region: "Ambassadors of a specific country".
Region: "Contributors of a specific region, where regions are: APAC,
LATAM, NA and EMEA".
Region: "Contributors of a specific country".
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but last time we haven't the terms
clear, the discussion was long and a little annoying, and the term
was pretty more concise (may against must/have/should or another
stronger word).
Best regards,
