Hi,

I very much agree.

The word leader has that whole top-down meaning to it.

I like the use of 'spokespeople', with the variants.

Thanks for the update.

I'd really like to push the idea that we stop using the word "leaders"
and start using "spokespeople".

It's something I should have realised many years ago; the enormous
scientific collaborations at CERN who used to be my customers have
used this terminology (or spokesman/spokeswoman) for ever. It really
is closer to what we want to project about our community, isn't it?
