Yes, that right.  There are two reasons for this:

 1) we all want all the dev-facing policies and technical issues to be resolved by the community, where we already have a structure in place to review such things.  
 2) the foundation has one employee (Tanya), who is part time, so it has to pick and chose carefully what it tackles.

Most things can be done by the community, the foundation should only step in when there is no ability (e.g. legal issues) or apparent will (e.g. the website overhaul) to do it.
