Another option would be to have release team report to a Foundation 
staff member. This way we'd achieve the goal of bringing release team 
under Foundation control, but without the overhead and formalism of 
having to be a committee of the Board. It also fits more elegantly with 
the plan to devolve Board powers to Foundation staff.

This might make sense for existing committees too.
