I agree with Joerg: Membership is a FAmSCo duty.

According to what FAmSCo said in the first discussions we had in the
early 2008 (if I'm not wrong), it was clearly stated that FAmSCo has
the power to "nominate/remove membership administrators". AMAs,
infact, has to report periodically about their work: see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-September/msg00359.html
("Ambassador Membership Service collect and report to Famsco
periodically for approval of the new potential Ambassador." and "AMA
group is composed by Ambassadors and it's supervised by FAmSCo.")

Yes, in that mail it's not clear how AMAs are nominated. BTW if there
are trusted community members (like who asked for this clarification)
that want to join the team, FAmSCo should take in consideration this:
remember we are a open process community and one more hands means a
lot for the wealth community.

Here a final thought:

Membership is a FAmSCo duty, cause it's the only elected body, BTW, it
has the power to delegate to trusted people membership administration.
FAmSCo is the only responsible body for a good/bad administration of
the new ambassadors: that's the reason FAmSCo is the entitled body to
nominate administrators, just because it has to guarantee, as a
community-elected body, all the Ambassadors.

That's all for now.
