Leadership Structure

Hi Jared & All,
I have placed the 'Leadership Team Positions' in the top section because
if we can talk about what positions are required then we can discuss how
they are "elected/appointed".
I am not implying that all of the positions are needed, this is what the
community needs to talk about and discuss.
They are 'proposed' positions.
You may not necessarily think that they are required but others might.
Others may make other suggestions.
I will amend the wiki to make this clear.
I left everything else in place because they are 'models'.
I could 'add' positions like 'local Representatives' if you like from
model 3 & 3a.
Regards,
Andrew G.
