I agree WLM doesn't fit in GLAM as GLAM is now, and the heritage organizations are mostly government sponsored groups who live, work and act completely differently than institutions in the GLAM world (the name says it all). Monuments people are field workers, they like to go outside, look at buildings and places, ask questions, and (most important of all) are not scared of meetups.
WLM doesn't fit in GLAM because WLM is a well defined format with specific objectives and the organization is easy because people can take 12 or 6 or 3 months to organize it because the format is basically the same.
WLM is a good example to organize an event coordinating several organizations because the formula is clear.
GLAM at the moment is a "quid" that may change every time and in every context. For this reason it seems that GLAM can include WLM.
