I like the regional leaders better. It seems less demanding on the SPS. The expense of 1000$ a year seems like a bargain, especially if that region is a target either because the amount of active users or some other reason.
Do you think money could be raised locally? For example if a region finds value, they can donate or fundraise to increase their local budget.
Thanks for you feedback.
In terms of the relative costs between the two programs, the Ambassadors are more targeting investors and developers, whereas the Regional Leaders are more looking towards content creators and consumers.
The idea of trying to raise funding locally is very good. If the scheme didn't have to rely on the SPS it might be able to evolve much faster. Thank you for that idea.
Anyone in South Korea you think might be interested in become a Regional Leader?
I think @jaydih may be able to do it. He already does tipu curating amd seems interested in that sort of thing.
In my case, I don't interact with the Korean Steem community enough, but I could assist.
