FESCo I see as a little bit of a special case. I don't really see much
difference between the ambassador group and the docs group and the
design group other than that the ambassadors still choose to form a
steering committee for governance. Some in the ambassador community
think there isn't really a need for the steering committee at all as
almost all ambassador governance is provided by regional ambassador
groups through their meetings. QA could choose to have a steering
committee if it thought that would provide better governance to the QA
community.

And even though I think FESCo is a special case I think even in that
case if we would like FESCo to change any of its rules we should go to
FESCo and make the case. All of the governance bodies are open to
improving things.
