IMHO it is highly important to take in consideration if the ambassador
is a person who is a reference for others and if s/he is already
recognized as a "mentor", although not a formal one, by those
ambassadors that s/he is already helping. That would help new and
current ambassadors to know who they should ask for help, specially in
local communities with a lot of ambassadors.
