Hey folks,
I had a 90-second conversation the other day with SJ about whether it
would make sense for us to use volunteer "clerks" as support for the
FDC (Funds Dissemination Committee), and I'm wondering if anyone can
point me towards any documentation of the role -- a description of
how
it's typically used, either inside Wikimedia or outside. I have the
gist, but am curious to learn more, if anyone's got links they could
point me towards.
Thanks,
Sue
I am not a native speaker, and this is what I get from Oxford
Dictionary
a person employed in an office or bank to keep records and accounts
and to undertake other routine administrative duties: a bank clerk
an official in charge of the records of a local council or court: a
clerk to the court
a lay officer of a cathedral, parish church, college chapel, etc.:
a chapter clerk
2 (also desk clerk) a receptionist in a hotel.
an assistant in a store; a salesclerk.
3 (also clerk in holy orders) formal a member of the clergy.
Based on this definition, I would not like to be called a clerk. May be
an Arbcom clerk is ok, because they are supposed to keep records and
undertake routine administrative duties, but not for FDC, whise members
are expected to advise.
Cheers
Yaroslav
