Is not one participant enough to start a user group? I know when we started it was only two participants, but really only one was needed. (Once the UG is formed, we got more just because it existed and we were able to advertise it's existence.) > 5.

(We actually allowed this in the past, and for this last round of nominations.) (They still would need the three approvals.) I just feel it is kinda silly, because what you will end up having is people saying "Please nominate me." instead of "I nominate myself and I need three approvals". It's effectively the same thing, no?
