Francesco starts by announcing the meeting agenda :

2. Current tasks review
3. Budget

1. Ambassadors Policies Coordination
Francesco reminded everyone the aim of FAmSCo

"We are policy makers, we were elected to organize Ambassadors 
Project, and one of the main way is through policies".  

The conversation focused on the differences between "regional" 
decisions, and "global" decisions.

Everyone agreed that the way we handle these two decisions are 
different.

For regional decisions -- what events to attend, how much swag to 
purchase, etc. -- the authority is left to the regional leaders.

For global decisions -- policy that impacts all Ambassadors -- the 
authority is left to FAmSCo.

We then discussed the specific issue of the Country List page, and the 
best way to clean that page up, and maintain it in the future.

While this sort of decision is a "global" one that should be left to 
FAmSCo, we were not clear about making that known last week, and that 
led to a confusing thread that ended up on Fedora Ambassadors list.

"Please REPLY to this mail (or you will be *removed* from the 
Ambassadors Country list.)"  

To prevent misunderstandings like this in the future, we decided:

-- FAmSCo has to be more firm about the decisions it makes in his 
meetings.

-- FAmSCo is not going to micromanage the Ambassadors regions, and 
leaves this to Regional Leaders.

-- The CountryList page is to be made obsolete, then deleted, and 
replaced by an automatically created wiki page, based on Fedora 
Account System information. This task is to be handled by Joerg Simon.

-- Contact wiki pages, on the responsibility of Regional Leaders, are 
to be created for each region with primary contacts information in 
them. These will be used as entry points for people who need to 
contact Ambassadors. This task is to be handled by Max Spevack.  

By this time, we were over an hour, and the rest of the agenda was 
cancelled.

Francesco adjourned the meeting.
