Dear Ralph, as far as I understand it, it is not "we", who define, if it makes a difference, but those, who will be in the function. So I think, the best ist, to go with the flow and use the words, which give the people of the specific (sub-) culture the right idea. I still have a related "problem", to find adequate words for the host, convenor,...in the central province of Sofala, Mosambik. So I agree, WE do not need to agree about the words used. But those who are defined by such words should have the chance to find their best word for it.

I alternately use host, convenor, sponsor, client, leader, organizer, and others. I understand the distinctions we can make among these terms, but I'm not sure they are differences that make a difference. In any case, I'm not sure we need to agree about it. Or about many of the other terms.
