I would definitely put it online.  It would need to be online in the 
first place in order to be created by such a far-flung community of 
professionals, at least in any kind of reasonable timeframe (IMO).

And certainly all paid members of the organization should have free 
access to the document that we would be trying to create to help 
describe all the important aspects of work in the field.

I'm not entirely sure if it should be completely free online to anyone 
who wants to see it, or if there should be some other process involved 
-- I'm willing to be convinced either way, although my personal tendency 
is to lean towards making it freely available under a typical CC-NC-SA 
type of license (see <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/>).

A dead-tree version is also a necessity.

I think we're agreed on that much.  I'd be interested to see what you 
have to say about the rest.
