I disagree with your recommendation. I recently got my Ubuntu membership through the Regional Boards and it turns out I was a good candidate for the Ubuntu Contributing Developer (UCD) route which I had actually not heard of yet. UCD provides no extra privileges or status, and there's no point in anybody who is already a Ubuntu Member getting UCD status before applying for MOTU or core-dev.
