TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Oh I think Eric and Deb should volunteer to do it on the side ;-)
But seriously, I don't think the STC could be depoliticized enough to gain the trust of the people who have been bashing it as irrelevant all these years. I would think that this would have to come from a new organization that forms organically from a nucleus of interested techwr-l members. Credibility would attach when respected organizations like IEEE, PMI, PDMA, and the PR org that was mentioned yesterday but whose name I forgot cooperated in the development of the credentialing criteria and process and eventually endorsed the resulting standard.
