The Welcoming Committee is more than just welcoming members and saying "hi". While this is a part of it, it also entails actually guiding a new member.

You need to really know the rules of the board and how things work around here (such as the site features), and in general be able to explain these things to a person.

Along with this, you should also be able to explain things and communicate in a clear and concise manner. This should be done in general, but we also get many people who speak English as a second language and it is easier for them if someone is able to speak to them coherently with proper grammar and spelling. Of course it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect with this, we all make mistakes; but it should be intelligible if you know what I mean.

I hope that sums it up a little, as for what is expected of a Welcoming Committee member.
