Reading the change in http://fpaste.org/JfrD/ 
<http://fpaste.org/JfrD/>and looking at 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance shows two different 
things.
The published Governance reads like we are giving the board some power 
over governance of Teams, Projects and Local Labs:

"The Oversight Board is responsible for appointing officers with 
executive functions. (...)
Existing officers include:
(...)
Team Coordinators
Project Managers
Coordinators of Local Labs <<----"

My comment is that instead, the board should solicit the group the 
appointment of a liaison or contact person.

Talking with Walter and Bernie I understand that this was actually the 
intention, so the exact wording has changed. Please refer to
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance#Officers_and_coordinators 
to read the final wording and check.

On a separate note, the word "official", when directly translated to 
spanish, has a military connotation so I suggested to call this person a 
"delegate" instead.

Under the current version, this gets my +1 with the door open to fix the 
wording.
Sebastian
