FPCSC will needs to do what the "Core cabal" and FESCo do now and thus

(FESCo currently has 13 members).
FESCO's size is insufficient already. FESCO is not as productive as it
could be if there were more members. Originally, FESCO had been created to
form a small group of people who could get something done. Over time,
FESCO has degraded to a collection of people, who fill seats in multiple
committees and find themselves unable to pursue "FESCO business".
Hey all,
The rule of thumb for efficient team sizing is 7 people +/-. FESCO is too
big. Part of the reason people feel comfortable slacking on "FESCO business"
is because they think that with such a large group, it doesn't matter if they
slack off or not (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing). Adding
more people to FESCO/FPCSC will just make things worse.
In addition, FESCO's purpose should be for making decisions that can't be
made otherwise, not for being obligated to do all the work that needs doing.
If people outside FESCO are not feeling like they can make headway, FESCO
needs to get out of the way and empower those people, rather than trying to
add more responsibilities to a FESCO TODO list.
Best,
