Does it matter?  I can't find a specific definition of "Executive
Officers" in our bylaws or Delaware corporate law.  Or am I missing a
well-accepted US corporate law definition?  Otherwise, we should simply
use a definition that makes sense for us and is consistent (and doc'd).

This is certainly the simplest definition, since it's explicit in the
bylaws.  President/EVP, Secretary, Treasurer (and Chairmen, which are
part of the board itself).  Everyone else would simply be listed as
"Officers expected" (or lumped in with Guests), either as a corporate
officer (Fundraising, Press, etc.) or a board committee officer (Legal,
Security), or a PMC Vice President.

Obviously, I need to update the governance orgchart:

That's a slightly different kind of criteria than using the bylaws
definition for "Executive Officer", and I don't think we all have the
same expectations of which officers are truly expected to make all board
meetings.
