Ya I think the whole point here (the question per se )is just to gauge if
TC Candidates are willing to engage with regional developer in a way that
is best fitting for that region.

It surly will take other measures to make this entire effort work . On that
I totally agree with you that there should be ambassadors to help
facilitate the discussion, and the end goal is always to go to upstream
instead of the convo ending in local or downstream.
