An idea similar to this is the person who volunteered to be our 'scribe' for
our LoCo and responsible for Team Reporting.  Instead of having me (the
Contact) do it, people volunteer for these delegated things.

If I'm understanding correctly, Jussi is asking for something of similar
structure (checking factoids and links, etc, etc), and take on a more
autonomous role; having the autonomy to accomplish tasks on their own, and
able to bring up things to the council.  The important part is in a
'structured' way.  You can't build a tower if you don't have a basic
structure.  This idea isn't terribly different from how Ubuntu LoCo's
operate in general.  It seems to be working for Wisconsin, anyway.

Perfect for people to volunteer, one has done already.

Team contacts?  I like it.

Thanks for your time, I hope I'm helping.
