I don't think you should have a vote at this time. I don't think you should have hosts at this time. Any result of such a vote would be immediately complained about by the other side, and you would be back at square one. Someone mentioned that the group was going along quite fine without one.

On edit, that is not the only reason those terms have been used. They have been used for as long as this group has existed unfortunately. It's one of the things that has bothered me since DU2.
