The GNOME Foundation board of directors.  Also, I am sure that the
GNOME Marketing team will be involved with reviewing work done.

There are a number of tasks that need to be done.  You can refer to the
GNOME 3.0 Marketing Roadmap here:

  http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/MarketingRoadmap

You can see that there are many tasks that do not even yet have an
owner.  This contract will likely not be able to address all of these
issues, so during the interview process we will need to work to find
the candidate who can best step in and get needed things done.

Does the above roadmap help?  Also refer here:

Right.
