In the Community section consider the above recommended change in wording.

I understand the rationale for the request and generally agree however, how do we define those people that subscribe, attend meetings and have the ability to vote on Board members etc relative to the broader community that may use our search interface if not with some sort of 'grouping'. Or is that not required?
I'll change the language but have concerns over clarity and differentiation. Topic for future discussion?

I think it is a topic for further discussion. At this point I was thinking a less "restrictive" term than group might be good - just to lower the mental barrier to participation. Since we haven't yet defined (as I noted in my other issue) a specific definition of who the voting members of the community are we might as well be more expansive in our language. Once we define our terms a bit more as part of the governance model we can update the language on the site.
