The Wikipedia Ambassador Steering Committee is part of the process of transitioning from a Wikimedia staff-led program to a volunteer-driven program, which started to happen at the end of the 1-year Public Policy Initiative grant. The Wikipedia Ambassador Steering Committee is comprised completely of volunteers.
In broad strokes, the likely scope of the committee includes: working on a proposal how, and how fast, to expand the activities of the Ambassador Program into new geographies, new disciplines, and new kinds of outreach; developing a reward and feedback system for ambassadors; finding a scalable solution to evaluate new ambassador candidates (which until now has fallen to Annie and Sage).
In the future, the committee might also be given the authority to resolve disputes among ambassadors (not anissue that's come up so far, thankfully); to establish metrics for evaluating the value of different outreach initiatives and to allocate resources accordingly (in case the Ambassador Program gets its own budget).
