I will be undertaking a small practice-based project within my main research. It will involve collaboration with 8 other people. I am writing this down as a proposal at the moment, describing everyone's tasks and the main events. Every now and then, I need to include myself in the text and talk about what I'll be doing, as a third person. I cannot think of anything but "researcher". Any ideas? How would you refer to yourself?

404, if you have given yourself and other people particular jobs to do, maybe you could actually refer to them within the document using their initials, including your own. I do this for meeting reports and it sounds formal yet you still know who said what.

Thank you H. That is a very good idea. The only problem is, I haven't yet selected those 8 people. There are 32 people showing interest at the moment, I want to send this proposal to those who wants to take part, too. So I have been refering to the people with numbers (Artist #1, Engineer #3 etc...) so far.
