Correct.

Or to propose that the DPL just delegates the people to the tasks aj
proposed. For me, this requires clearing the status of the current secteam
members, because I don't think having 'delegated secteam members' alongside
'pre-delecation secteam members with unclear status' is a good idea.

Point taken.

Nobody talked about unilateral. See the disclaimer both aj and I mentioned?
Actually one of the reason I don't feel a GR should be used here is that I
feel that would exactly be an unilateral action, potentially antagonizing
the current security team. At least until that the current secteam
indicates that this GR is welcome to them.
