That's exactly the thing.
I'm wondering why only few Ambassadors are involved in this topic. ATM, there are 71.99 subscribers (BTW, where has gone 0.01 subscriber ? ;-)) on this -ambassdors list [1] and 175 Ambassadors are registered [2], but most of them keep silence and haven't commented if the hour is agreeable to them or not. Does this mean, the scheduled meeting time 15:00 UTC is agreeable to most of the Ambassadors and they are going to join the meeting ? If most of the Ambassadors can join the meetings on that time frame, there's no problem. But if they won't join the meeting without making counter-proposals, does that mean, they are not interested in talking with other Ambassadors and improving the program at all, and the only interest they have is how they can get DVDs and stuffs from openSUSE project ?
I hope my concern will prove unfounded...

Personally I'm OK with the time. But as I proposed, it's better to have seperate meetings for areas. Not only because everyone can attend but almost everyone know what's happening in their area, different cultures etc.
Well, Japanese for example, how many Japanese contributors except me can you name actually ?
There certainly are a fair amount of openSUSE users in Japan. Some of them are writing articles about openSUSE on their own site and posting blogs. I've often called for them to be engaged in *main stream* of the openSUSE community, but most of them hesitate to join the discussions in English.
This situation is what I want to change. And in order to do so, I want to share the ideas with other contributors all over the world.
I hope Ambassador program will help changing this situation.
It's good if every country (that have more than 2-3 ambassadors) will have meeting for programming next events etc in their country. This way, people who don't speak-understand english (I'm one of them), can speak their language.
