The ZART has been around for a while now, but only now are we really concerned about sorting the whole thing out.  We feel the definition needs rewriting and that is what we plan to do.  It's a slow process, but hopefully we'll have it done sometime soon.  We're still discussing everything as a team, especially which bands come under which category of Avant-Prog (which RIO is).We of course are still adding bands too, despite the lack of a proper definition.  The members of the ZART, are all pretty much in agreement with each other, so that helps us decide which bands are Avant-Prog and which are not.To answer the initial question, however, my belief is that Rock In Opposition should only incorporate 8 bands (the original 5, plus the 3 that joined later).  There are other related RIO bands, like Present and the offshoots of Samla Mammas Manna, but I am still undecided as to if they're RIO or not.  This is what we need to decide on as a team.I hope this helps!

Thanks alot! Yes it does, I now have a good understanding, I had always wondered about how things like that were decided.
