Roles

 * Review and approve Requests for comment (see the RFC process): maintain the  MediaWiki-RfCs Phabricator workboard, host public RFC meetings to assess and achieve consensus.
 * We strive to have multiple people looking at an RFC before approval, but an individual committee member may approve an RFC if they believe it will be uncontroversial.
 * Discuss strategy / develop recommendations.
 * Help to identify high-priority technical projects and make recommendations to WMF, WMDE, etc. (T96903).
 * Help connect RFC requestors with additional developers (we can't assign resources but we can help connect folks)

Meetings

 * Architecture meetings lists public meetings, mostly discussions of RFCs on IRC.
