Hi Jukka,

Seems every few years we go down this path and it upsets a lot of
people and there is a lot of debate over defining what makes someone
active or inactive and it hasn't ever resulted in doing anything
beyond upsetting people that I can recall. Even in areas where
activity is fairly easy to define I don't know of any other group that
kicks people out for taking a break and not causing trouble.

I can't imagine how anything good will come from pitting one group
against another which will be what happens when a group of ambassadors
in one country/region decide to try to remove the membership of other
local ambassadors.

Be friends. When some ambassadors stop being active however you define
that you can step in and fill the void.
