One minor addition: we'll also remove any existing end dates from the renamed CG roles as well. In practical terms, that will only effect the Leader roles, the other roles already have unlimited durations. We'll also modify Auth so that if someone deletes their roles we'll simply record the date they did the deletion rather than actually deleting the record, as at present. That will enable us to track history. -- Alan Burlison --
