Please either call this "ombudsman" or come up with a different word.

The word "ombud" in Swedish (where "Ombudsman" comes from) does
definitely not have the same neutral meaning as "ombudsman" has. In
fact, "ombud" is absolutely not neutral but a proxy that acts on behalf
of someone else.

I.e. "ombud" and "ombudsman" are two different words, and you can not
"just" remove the ending "man" that part from meaning "male" also means
"human".
