What I'd be looking for is a description of what the role and

precisely zero of any value about any organizational matter, roles, work needed, and so on.
Well, that's sort of the point.
It's the start of something that we hope to have extensive community input on—it's the first step, not the last. Thirteen people brainstormed over the course of a few hours two weeks ago, and we wanted to throw what we had out there so everyone has a chance to participate.
The definition of "groups" is particularly vague, as noted in the description. It's not something that I expect to resolve this week or next, but with some help we might have it mostly clarified within a few months.
If you have specific questions, let's discuss! There's plenty of space on the wiki, and I'm happy to address stuff on this list and make sure it's integrated into the main body of work.
Hey Austin
I left a message on the talk page about the definition of "groups" in the context of Movement Roles Project last week. I also brought this up in the IRC hour a week ago. I know the intention here is to be as inclusive as possible, but can we start to classify what "groups" are expected to be included in the project.
A little more clarification about these "groups" would be greatly helpful either on wiki or the mailing list.
I would assume that chapters are one such groups that are definitely going to be included in the classification, if so, can we at least include them somewhere so people have a general idea here about the context or what's expected.
