Wrong. I'll expand on the "Yes" now that I've got a few minutes... Actually, 
I'll turn that into a "No". I misread "the people proposed by the GLEP to 
manage the new documentation" in my rush to leave for work this morning. The 
existing owners don't matter to the GLEP. They can continue to maintain the 
existing documentation if they wish. If you didn't have new people to 
maintain the new documentation however...
