Since there seems to be a positive feeling around the creation of a Steering Committee, I've tried getting together a page for it, or charter. The Elections rules could be copied from FAmSCo [1] or FDSCo.

How does it look? Too big, too bureaucratic, too good? What needs to be added or deleted?
In other news, there's now a "tracker bug" for Transifex bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436824
We can use this to track which bugs are open that need our attention, or require a follow-up in order our website to work as it should. If you open a bug against another product/component, make sure you mark it as a blocker to 436824.

Well let's get this discussion started. EVERYONE this is YOUR chance to say what our L10N Steering Committee should and shouldn't do as FLSCo.
As a basis the current text is quite complete. It seems that a lot of the stuff that might be missing will be found out along the way of doing it, as long as we keep the organization level too a bare minimum (get stuff done, not put stuff in the way of getting it done)
One thing I am missing in the text is a number of people that need to run FLSCo. Looking at the project as a whole, this would be any odd number between 5 and 11. As a requirement we should add the fact that we want to have at least one member of each major region (APAC, EMEA en America) at that level, to be sure to have a representative to each part of the community behind it.
That said, let's push this forward!
So comment away,
Bart

This is a good point, and mentioned on the page at some point: "The committee represents the community as a whole" -- could be emphasized more. I'm not sure how feasible and efficient would be to have it as a mandate for FLSCo members; maybe we should leave it open, and remind everyone (both now and before the vote) that one important aspect of a good FLSCo would be to represent the whole community.
Reason to join FLSCo #143: We have enough budget set aside to try hard and have all FLSCO members in Brussels for FOSDEM '09.
