 I have a suggestion for *Autocrat*

How about Mayor. After all, that essetntially is that person's function. 
They just do it on a more temporary basis than a period or medern mayor. 
They are *in charge* but NOT the rulers. The job of a mayor/autocrat is 
to facilitate and organise, right? We could start using it by listing 
them as

John Doe
Mayor(formely know as Autocrat)

A start?
