But then you'd have to randomly audit members to ensure they were 
accurately reporting this information. Given that some WISPs don't even 
want to provide this information to the government when mandated by law, 
getting them to provide accurate information voluntarily, especially 
when they have an explicit financial interest in under-reporting their 
membership...

You'd have a bit more money, but you'd turn around and spend it all on 
"compliance" or some such nonsense.

Anyway.

I think one of the most important details in such a position would be 
making sure that this person is held accountable to the board, and 
doesn't start lobbying for stuff without the board's approval. The last 
thing WISPA needs is someone in a flashy suit going into business for 
himself. (See also "sleeper agent.")

I don't like the job title - he'll be taking direction from the board 
and the membership, not giving direction himself - but that's a quibble, 
and even if it's misleading the name sounds weighty and impressive.
