I agree that this is definitely an ambassador-related function.  Not in
the way that the ambassador should be contacted for such materials, but
in the way that the ambassador should assess their particular region and
become the facilitator of such coordination, as well as aggregating the
information that can be parsed centrally.

Which addresses the higher need for better organization of the
Ambassador program.  its something I'd like to see being further
discussed and several of us on the Board have also been anxious to see
some re-development of the Ambassador program in order to give
ambassadors the resources they need and thus the community the resources
they need in turn.
