   1. team name
      1. since we've evolved our primary purpose (help w/reviewing JIRA requests and facilitate discussions), should we change our name to speak to new focus?
      2. If so, what do we call ourselves? CAT (Community Advisory Team)?

      1. we could have some members contribute asynchronously (currently have 12 DGOC members -- only 5 or 6 active because of timezone issues)
      2. if Asian members cannot participate, we need to recruit new team members - target of 8
