Do the other councils refer to themselves as "Kubuntu members" / "Forum members"? Or do they generally use the title "Ubuntu Members"? > Perhaps UCD should get renamed to "Ubuntu Development Members" > (~ubuntu-dev-members) to match the naming scheme of the other teams.

If a human-readable name is needed, I would strongly recommend either "Ubuntu Development Members" or "Ubuntu Developing Members" over the current name, which wrongly emphasizes "Developer" as the status instead of "Member". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
