Yes.  Good catch.  I've now changed this to FESCo on the wiki::
  http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/ElectionDraft

BTW, this was one of the sections I considered controversial when I
drafted this policy.  Is anyone opposed to letting anyone in cladone
become a candidate for FESCo?  It could bring in thoughtful people who
largely watch the proceedings of Extras or contribute to the
infrastructure of the project rather than contributing packages into
directly into Extras.  It could also bring people who are only involved
because they have an opinion but don't want to do any work.  Assuming
intelligent voters, this could still be a problem if we don't have
enough candidates to fill all the open seats; allowing the person in by
default....
