Another precision I missed:
Let's say for example there are 5 requests from europe:
2 important and 3 not so important:
The famsco member of a region could give priority in terms of more
budget/dvds to the big events where many ambassadors will be present.
And afterwards the famsco member can present them to the whole FAMSCo
