[Proposal] FIG 3.0 - Core Committee name

[Larry Garfield]

Here's another one, and a simple one:

I really hate the name "Core Committee". It's generic, bland, lends
itself to the absurdly long "Core Committee Member" term, and is just
all around my least favorite part of the proposal. :-) Unfortunately,
I've typed it enough that I can't think of an alternative now.

Someone please suggest something better, lest we end up with ImPHPerial
Senators. :-)

Please bikeshed.

What about a generic "core group"?
In this way, you could shorten it to "FIG core member"...

Other proposal: commission - commission member?

Just Commitee maybe ? The Core part can be dropped imho

Well, I'm trying to get away from "X member". I think that's the part
that bugs me. Which sounds less pompous: FIG Commissioner (member of
the FIG Commission), or FIG Councillor (member of the FIG Council)? We
could also stick "Community" before either of those if we wanted.

I prefer FIG Councillor over Commissioner. 

Wait, do we have anyone named Gordon? That might sway my vote towards using Commissioner.

It's too bad Committee doesn't have an inherent member name.  I guess it would be... Committer? 

... WAIT!!!

Is discussing this issue the best use of people's time? Can't you just
choose something which isn't awful and move on?

Given how little discussion there is of anything else right now, this
thread isn't getting in anyone's way. There seems to be very little
pushback on the rest of the proposal so nitpicking details seems to be
all there is to do. I assume that's because almost everyone thinks it's
great. :-)

Returning to the topic, what do you think of Associate?

Little public pushback, anyway. I'm pretty sure it's not that great an idea, but other commitments prevent me from giving it the full attention it deserves.

Heh. :-) In that spirit, recall only that "silence is not assent."

Honestly the best suggestion I've heard so far is "Committer". Even though the members of the core group might not have commit access it just sounds a lot less pretentious to me.

Thanks,

Korvin

I think Committer would be easily conflated with having commit access to the repos which may or may not be true of all members of the as-of-yet-unnamed group.

I thought I would contribute an idea to this. How about instead of "core committee", you have the FIG Cadre, with members of this "nucleus of effort" being referred to as Cadres or Cadre Members. It's at least shorter, if not too archaic.
