Re: Need help figuring out a policy on this
You could perhaps apply a rule that to downgrade the Owner status in a group with three or more co-owners, action by at least two owners should be required. That would make some sorts of malice more

Mark -- Some of the feature suggestions made here might have marginal utility to head some of this off. Other than that, I believe it is generally be in your best interest to avoid inserting yourself

Re: Need help figuring out a policy on this
My thought is that - rather than mess about establishing an extra 'founder' status - it should be set that the only person who can remove 'Owner' status (or delete such an id) is that person

Mark,
Certainly.
tl/dr: "Having the right to do a thing does not make it the right thing to do".
Agreed. I don't want that either.
My concern has nothing to do with what organizations you wish to

Thanks Mark.
For the record:
