I don't think we are at the beginning of that discussion. The WMF
board's resolution  instructing Sue to sort out the creation of the
FDC (which followed on from lengthy discussions on meta, and had a
great deal of consensus) is pretty clear about what the FDC will be
doing. There are plenty of details to be finalised, but the basic idea
of what the FDC is there to do is already decided.
