Why do we have the Gypsy Council and not the Roma Council or has that been changed now?

I have been to a number of enjoyable events organised by The Romany and Traveller Family History Society. I am a friend of their Vice President and she was a regular at our folk club. In my experience, the term 'Roma' is not used by them and seems to be reserved for those from Eastern Europe.
All my working life, I was in Special Education and came into frequent contact with English and Irish traveller families. Back in the 1960s the name 'gypsy' was hated by them and seen as a term of abuse but over the years I saw that change. Partly, I think that they reclaimed the word as a distinguishing mark; I used to hear things like, "We are a gypsy (or sometimes Romany Gypsy) family; nothing to do with that New Age lot." and partly because society has moved on and organisations such as the R&TFHS have encouraged people to take pride in their family roots.
