It seems to me that unless the chapter webmaster position is part of an office that already has executive duties, there's no reason for it to be an exec board position.
Of course, if you have an executive officer who is responsible for PR who is able to be webmaster, then that person is already on exec. But if your webmaster is someone else, it should probably be someone who reports to the officer responsible for PR, so that there's no reason for the webmaster also to be on exec. That ground is already covered.
The optimal size for an executive board or council is probably a size so that
(1) it includes everyone who acts on a day-to-day basis handling fraternity matters;
(2) it includes the people who are in the best positions to make judgment calls about the sorts of things your exec board handles
(3) it doesn't include anyone who does not have matters that the exec board needs to handle on a regular basis.
Generally, the webmaster position involves a one-way flow of information from the fraternity to its members and the outside world. A webmaster does not, solely by virtue of being a webmaster, have anything special to contribute to exec, and does not really do much along the lines of chapter management. A website is a nice thing to have, but it's not a critical or even a necessary function of chapter management.
