Your idea seems to address several things AIP-226 did, especially with respect to mobilizing and empowering local community ApeCoin leaders. Perhaps the AIP might have done better by scaling down a bit, but personally I’d prefer to see @ssp1111’s brilliantly conceived proposal reworked and reimplemented over an “Ambassador” program, myself. Have a read, as it addresses many of the points you’ve brought up, and more.
I’m all but certain we haven’t seen the last of the Decentralized Events Network. If we can establish the MarComms WG, this might even aid in facilitating this proposal and furthering the spirit of your idea @Evil. I for one would love the chance to contribute to an updated version of this concept, and I’m sure SSP would be open to others contributing their thoughts and expertise as well.
Just some thoughts. Appreciate you bringing this back up.
