Optional (suggest name): 
I worry about this somewhat. It's grossly misused in pop culture. I'd hate
to see that lead to even more confusion in the Web to User relationship. I
always use webfolk because it's very all-encompassing but I don't know
that's very helpful in a broader context either :)

Comments: 
I think people should be awarded "benefit" on MERIT NOT MEMBER FEE (except
some small swag perhaps, stickers always good/affordable) such as level of
participation, leadership, awareness, activity driving etc. etc. Such
benefits could conceivably lead to a better liaison-for-all-WGs. Find the
exceptional folks, and oversee their process. Let me know how I can help
given my minimal energy right now. But I'm all for it, and all in!  xo to
all, Molly E. Holzschlag
