Great, thank you!

Few comments:
* you talk about votes all over, but I think it's important to specify
  somewhere that you are expecting a "simple majority vote" or so (which
  is what 7.1.11 means, effectively)
* you say that the chair can be replaced at any time, but I propose that
  such change require a supermajority (3/4th of the team) and since the
  team is owned by the TB, that also needs to be accepted by them
* require that the team has at least a quarterly meeting (despite
  currently being fortnight)
* you haven't specified *who* can apply.  I recommend to require MOTUs.
* what's with the "may 1st" thing about the chair?  especially if
  somebody is "promoted" to chair, that would make for an awkward
  situation, so what's the reason behind that?
* so you think we should vote to extend everybody's membership?  That
  sounds like too much work, wouldn't it?  also I don't really see a
  need for it.  And if you think it'd be useful, then everybody should
  expire the same date so that we can just hold one yearly meeting
  renewing (or not) everybody at once.
* 7.1.5 "at the chair’s discretion" - here I suppose you are referring
  to the meeting chair, not the team chair, right?  (which could be
  different)


overall if feels more complicated than it needs to be, but effectively
it's what we've been doing, so it should be fine.
