Keeping the sub-teams active and up-to-date

[John Hupp]

I'm not affected as a member, active or inactive, of any team.  But as a 
beneficiary I have a stake in seeing that things work well.  And I'll 
assert that there is a big difference between dictatorship and 
leadership. Ali cited the clear organizing principle which defines and 
stresses active membership.  He also notes precedent for updating the 
membership list.  I don't see that anyone has identified a real problem 
here.
