Hi Charles, Thanks, and very valid point. While we also have expiration set to one year, many of the members have joined in the last year. We have noticed a trend here where people sign up and sometimes attend one meeting, and then seem to slip through the cracks. So our intention here is certainly not to force people into being active as such, but rather to avoid losing potential contributors simply because we haven't provided them with any necessary information and encouragement. As also mentioned previously, many of the people who are non-technical seem to be intimidated into not contributing because they think their contributions will be "less" than those who are technical - so this is also a mindset that we are trying to change at the moment, particularly as we feel that marketing is probably the most crucial need in our area right now. And of course, this is just part of a drive to increase interest in the Team, because the consistently active members are unfortunately few.
