Neville,
In a country with few members, a near country could monitor their actions provide guidelines for they. As a worldwide program, the core doesn't know how local users in each country works, but near country does, or should do.
We have a situation like that here in Chile, but we are participating in many events, and this year we're part of the organization of the biggest Linux related event in Chile, Encuentro Linux, in this event there will be more than 5 Universities participating and also many communities, including the Debian's and Ubuntu's.
In 2008 event we represented Fedora, by giving a speech about Fedora, we made T-Shirts and gave DVD's to the public. We haven't participated here much, in part because of the work we're doing for the upcoming event.
So I also think each country should try to make a self cleaning, as some Ambassadors don't speek English well enough to actively participate in this list and other projects, but are a great contribution to their own country.
"Or when the group members have better communication to fedora at large that among themselves?"
Why not create this communication for all group members? Off course USA will talk directly with Fedora Core, but other groups should create this mature local group to be stronger and accomplish bigger goals.
Cheers,

+1 to local groups to control local Ambassador membership.

That may work for mature groups. What happen with those countries that only have one ambassador. Or when the group members have better communication to fedora at large that among thenselves?
But sure, if the is the local group can handle it, better leave at local level.
