Well, no, I'm not misunderstanding. If a staff assessment is needed, then
it needs to be done by staff.
Inappropriate metonymy here, "staff" doesn't equal "WMF staff". Anyway, [citation needed].
Nemo, my position is that it shouldn't be being done at all because the request is outside of the FDC's scope, and that assessment is done, then community assessment will be more useful than a quasi-official, partial assessment by a conflicted group that isn't "staff", has no experience using the analytical metrics, and doesn't have the wherewithal to do a complete the full assessment. The FDC does not have its own staff; it has WMF staff appointed to assist them by creating staff assessments, in accord with the FDC structure approved by the Board. The FDC doesn't get to pick who does the assessments.
