Just to be clear about this, I (for example) am not looking for a title 
to fit in a hierarchical way with the Foundation or LibO. What I am 
looking for is a simple title such as "LibO Marketing Team Member" where 
if I were to write to an organization, it would identify me, is 
traceable through these mailist as being an active member and 
justifiable as a representative of the group. This in no way represents 
a "post" in any hierarchical way to the Foundation. Just as a temporary 
means by which would help me at approaching organisations in a more 
professional way.

Just in case that I had not made this evident in my previous posts. I do 
still hope to write/call some Canadian organisations in the hope of 
organising the Canadian Marketing section of LibO but having an 
identifying title would help.
