I don't like the idea of an Advocacy committee - I would imagine committees are
relatively small in size, and focused on a particular issue. Advocacy seems to
large to fit that.

I don't feel like there are any downsides in the proposal - if there are, I
don't think there would be massive upheaval required to change it as our
community process evolves.
