I agree that it is likely they'll need some kind of support. The type of support they will need is mostly dependent on what their scope and responsibilities are, though. This is very much cart-before-the-horse in my mind, kind of like hiring the cafeteria staff before you decide

All Sue has done so far is ask for some information in order to inform a discussion. We're a long way from actually appointing any clerks.
Yes, which is why I provided the information about the roles of the English Wikipedia clerks. Having said that, the FDC Advisory Committee is having its first meeting today, according to the Meta page (I note that the names of the Board members and outside members aren't included on the list yet). I'm just making it clear from my perspective that I find it concerning that there are discussions about the infrastructure to support the FDC when we are at the very beginning of the discussion about what the FDC should actually be doing, and that there are some considerably more disparate views about "what they will do" than meets the eye.
