Ah, thanks for the link. I clarified the section at Meta-Wiki: <http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=2507024&oldid=2463973>. There are only two staff committees listed currently at Meta-Wiki. Is fundraising not considered a committee at this point? Are there any other staff committees missing from that page? (I'm not asking you directly, Michael, I'm just curious, though you might know the answers.)
