It does not specify the charities - that decision remains under your control.

That's not completely true. The pledge does limit the charities that are elligble. The pledge is "I commit to donating % of my income to the most cost-effective charities."

Donating to charities that aren't cost-effective to get fuzzies or social status in your local community does not count.

True, though the decision of who is most cost-effective does remain for you to decide.
