I would hope that our charter members (who have been through a public
nomination process in part for their involvement) are already acting in
the capacity of "Ambassador" for OSGeo.

I totally agree on this point. The fact that charter members only official role is to nominate new charter members and the Board is IMHO a weakness. Their role as OSGeo champions (and "Ambassadors" if there's consensus on that) should be emphasised. Quick ideas:

- personal pages on osgeo.org (osgeo.org/members/johndoe)
- @osgeo.org e-mail address (even an alias is fine) to be used as their primary address
- interviews on the main blog
- a track record of their public activity wrt OSGeo promotion, software development, management, documentation and what else

In this way the charter members could gain a higher visibility in the wider geospatial community and be recognised as official representatives.

BTW is there any process in place to "remove" charter members if they become inactive, move to another planet or are deemed unfit for the purpose by the community?
