AND he acknowledged both men and women as officials. I know, I know, y'all can get tired of hearing this relentless drumbeat, but then, I get tired of being ignored. It's nice to read something that includes everyone that is involved.

In the absence of Mr. Grammar, may I offer the following:
Y'all is often an individual.
All y'all is more often a group.

(Mr. Grammar prolly didn't know anyway.)

The context of your post seems to be that you are addressing the group.

Note: It is important to use the teminology which is approved for your area.

Well Mr. Northern Tier/Upper Peninsula guy, as an 8 year vet of the South I'm here to let ya know that y'all by itself does indeed refer to the group, not the individual. I think ya can find the singular version of y'all contained somewhere within this post.

Oh, no! We're going to need a Mr. Northern Grammar Guy and a Mr. Southern Grammar Guy?!?

I sense anarchy and chaos coming on...

Or, perhaps a poll.
