Invited Members

A Team may choose to add new members and the administrator to whom the Team reports may add new members.  Should any issues come to a vote before the Team, these new members will not alter the relative allocation of votes among the different constituencies that comprise the Team membership.  For example, if a Team which is permitted to have 2 administrative representatives on it adds another 3 administrators, then administrators still only have two votes.  The five administrative members must come to a consensus on how to cast the two votes.  If the administrative members cannot agree on how to vote, the new members would be non-voting on the particular issue.
