I have just looked at them quickly and was "shocked" to see so many open questions/issues. I will certainly let my light shine on some of them.

That's a great page of questions, Angela. It is a *long* page, but I hope many people will chime in with their thoughts, particularly people who do not usually contribute their ideas on meta.
Let me add that our community has an untapped depth of talent in fields where we currently "need" skilled help. I hope that we work to find better ways to ask our community of active editors and readers for help, before deciding that any particular problem cannot be solved through distributed effort and broad collaboration.

I added a short description on open questions on "Wikimedia News" and "Goings-on" to meta.

Nice idea. We could encourage to local communities to submit their comments in their favorite language and ask ambassadors and/or translators to translate those inputs into English at least. (So I would like to add translators-l again to Cc: list.)
By the way I support notafish's proposal we change the name "ambassador" to another, like "Wikimedia liaison". For reducing political nuances from those name or avoiding misunderstamding that they have a sort of right to decide, such a change would be nice.
Once Tomos translated this word into Japanese "駐在員" literally a staff working in a foreing area or just a reporter. For the sake of informative aspects of this position (making a report to Reports on meta, or for the Board, informing activities and initiatives on other communities, reporting community decisions and so on) I prefer "liaison" or "reporter" to the current name "ambassador".
