I'd rather focus our energies on improving communication and collaboration in the whole team, cause we all need a healthy environment to work. For instance, would we benefit from a code of conduct for the team?
But I agree that there can be different levels of involvement, and we do not need to require that all volunteers register to dc-team (as Marga said, it can be traumatic - even though I hope we can change it soon). So I would advocate for those separate channels for volunteers/newbies in dc-orga, regardless of them being local to South Africa or not.
