But because we /look like /an official body,
it's easy to blame us for
failing to prevent disruptive research (if you're a community member),
for "rubber stamping" research that we like (ditto), or for drowning
research in red tape (if you're a wiki-researcher).
RCOM doesn't *look like* an official body, it claims to be one. With its
current structure, it looks like a WMF staff committee.

If you don't want it to look official, it's easy: call it "interest
group", add a "draft" template, add a "under pilot" warning,
call it a
subcommittee of the communications committee (a rather common format).
Heh. Well, I wasn't aware it was I was participating in an official body.
Does that mean I get to review proposals under my staff account now? :P
I suppose if *I'm *this confused about RCOM's role, I shouldn't be
surprised that others are too.
