How does that apply to this case? By "start", does that mean when the creator decided to create a group, gave it a name and started organising auditions for members (i.e. there were no members at the start and therefore no founding members) or when the auditions were over and the members had been selected (i.e. there were members at the start and therefore the first set of members selected from the audition become the "founding" members)? I could understand your answer both ways...
