[Linux-aus] FW: [Announce] Seeking 2015 auIGF Ambassadors

[Tennessee Leeuwenburg]

Hi Kathy,

Is the plan for this to be a co-ordinated affair, or are you just sharing
the info? Would it be beneficial for someone to LA to be accepted as an
ambassador? If so, would the application be strengthened if there were
formal support for the nomination by LA?

Thanks,
-Tennessee
