Yes. Unfortunately, the acronym can cause confusion. We should fix that by

There is the LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) - elected last July and charged

This election is for the Steering Committee (StC, SteerCo), which is the
governing body for organization policy (much like ILTCO's Executive Committee).
