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.
While I see your point, I think it's okay to include some people who
don't want to be and aren't technical communicators. And, I think this
document is a good effort and perhaps the best attempt I've see yet by
an organization to try to define technical communicators.
Cheers,
Sean

The document's intention is a manufactured and purchased product.

You also might be a tech writer working for a government agency. You
also might be a tech writer working for an NGO.
If you stretch the document to include all of us, it will also include
other professionals who clearly aren't "us."
