First, there is no FAB.  FAB stands for "fedora-advisory-board" and is
simply a mailing list, not a formal committee.  If you meant the Fedora
Ambassadors Steering Committee, that's FAmSco.  Yay for ambiguous
acronyms!

FESCo still has a responsibility of representing the community.  That is
why it is comprised of people from the community, which are elected by
the community itself.
