Thanks Philippe - that sort of helps, yes. :-) But I'm a bit confused looking 
at:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff#Legal_and_Community_Advocacy

Is there only one Legal Counsel or multiple - does Stephen replace, or work 
with, Michelle? If the latter, how do the roles relate to each other? 
Similarly, how does the day-to-day work of the GC and LC relate? Does the GC 
delegate tasks to the LC, or are there formal lines in the sand between their 
activities?

Also, who's Daisy? She doesn't appear to be on the staff page on the wiki?

Thanks,
Mike
P.S. In general, it might be useful if the on-wiki staff list was accompanied 
by descriptions of the roles that the staff take within the various teams. I'm 
sure that it's understood within the teams and by those working at the WMF, but 
it's a bit opaque and confusing from an outside perspective.
