In this page [3] wiki explain what FOSCo is and FAmSCo approved the setting up. In the last months FAmSCo would have been terminated, but nothing happened (as far as I know), so it went ahead doing basic things just like being the Ambassadors point of reference (and even just this justifies its existence). Now Council takes care of budgeting (and that's ok), but what about Ambassadors coordination? We know ambassadors are our front men and leaving them going forward without a committee that is able to get in touch with all the parts of the Project is harmful. There are dozens of ambassadors around the world and we can't allow them to go without a coordination. Yes there's the ambassadors meetings but they are separated for each region and I don't like they would not communicate anymore. Don't think Council is able to do this as well. Finally, I can't believe that leaving every part of the Project (except FESCo things) in the Council's hands would be useful and faster. So FAmSCo or FOSCo, but one of them must happen. Just my two cents. Thank you.
