[Include a field that allows the existence of the group and/or its membership to be kept private. Also include confirmation protocol that allows the intended group leader to accept or decline becoming group leader.]

When the adminstrator assigns one or more users to be a group leader, the assignment does not take effect until the assignee(s) is(are) notified and confirm the assignment. Specifically, when the uGroup Add command is confirmed by the administrator, a confirmation requiest is made to each of the assigned group leaders.
