[From: Darius Jack]

Hi,

managers, project managers, Think-Tanks, best developers stay for community leadership.

At Google Groups, the most experienced developers, answering questions and providing valuable feedback are called Gurus, being nominated by Google Project Managers.

Please have a look at Wikiedia entry for Community Council

			Community councils (CCs) are the most local statutory representative bodies in Great Britain.
Community councils in Scotland and Wales are somewhat similar to parish councils in England
(which can also have the style "Community council"). In Scotland, their
only statutory role is to communicate local opinion to larger bodies of
local and central government.
Members are chosen every three or four years. They are elected to represent the entire community council area
"

“Community Councils
158. Any discussion of this subject has to pay special attention to
the institution of community councils, whose purpose specifically is to
represent local communities. Community councils are unique. They are
statutory, but they are not another tier of local government; they are
not creatures of the council, as area forums or citizens' panels are;
nor are they purely voluntary bodies, as residents' associations and
tenants' associations are. A community can choose not to have a
community council; but if a community council exists the council can
neither dissolve it, as it could dissolve or reorganise its own forums
and panels, nor may it choose to ignore it, as it might ignore a
voluntary association."

"Community Councils in England
In England there are parish councils not community councils."
