My personal opinion is that since the SC and founding members do have to 
work on the by-laws and other legal matters, the marketing people should 
then have a temporary assigned title such as:

Marc Paré
LibreOffice Canada
Marketing Team Member

The title is a very universal title and does not represent any kind of 
hierarchical role. To safeguard the appropriate use of the "temporary" 
title, I would suggest that each LibO marketing teams identify a 
"Marketing Team Lead" who will oversee the marketing team member use of 
the unofficial title of her/his section. So for example, the US 
Marketing Team would pick a "Maketing Team Lead" from the US-marketing 
team and from there, whoever is in charge would assume the 
responsibility of the US member use of the unofficial title of 
"Marketing Team Member". I don't think there would be too many marketing 
sections at this point. So for example, in this case:

John Doe
LibreOffice US
Marketing Team Member

This could perhaps take care of the title issue until the legal 
paperwork is completed. Official titles could be discussed later on.

BTW ... we have been told to be ready for a final LibO version for 
distribution in 4-8 weeks. I will be data mining my sources for email 
addresses this week and next and will be ready for a Canadian mail-out 
of approximately 75-100 emails. I would really like to attach my name 
with some kind of title at that time if at all possible. I don't think 
that Drew's suggested title (below) would inspire too much confidence.
