Maybe I get this all wrong and FunCom's job was finished when the sponsor
docs were drafted but I thought that it is FunCom's underscored priority
#1 to actively access sponsors.

From
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Executive_Director_Job_Description#Responsibilities

The Executive Director is to work "... with other members to pursue
fundraising opportunities by writing proposals, meeting potential sponsors
and developing relationships"

But that is bullet 6 out of 9.

Google is Gold sponsor for FOSS4G (kudos, well done) so does not seem
impossile. Is there a FunCom list of potential sponsors, contact persons
and a timetable when to contact them?

I have updated the Wiki page to point to the correct mailing lists:
