In ambassadors we take the "act of joining the group"[1] as the trigger to 
start the mentoring process [2]. This is a balance act, because we do not want 
to spend too much ressources on Membership Management, but on the other hand, 
by spending these ressources the new candidates will work more efficient in the 
future than without it. 

Our Statistics [3] shows us, that less than 10% really make it in the end.

Because we trac the process on mentoring for ambassadors, our biggest help 
right now would be a automatic fas group clean up for applications to the 
ambassador group older than 14 days! It is easy to bring the candidates back 
in the group who need longer mentoring but will make it in the end and we have 
not to spend a lot work by manually clean up the other 90% - this would help a 
lot!
