We are on the same page with this.

When I'm referring to "election committee" and the rules it would set 
they would only exist for governing body's that affect the community in 
whole not for self governing sub-community like QA hence I only 
mentioned the Board, FESCo, and FAmSCo since those are only the ones 
that I think fall under that category.
