It will be when it opens. In an earlier mail I sent the threads 
explaining the ongoing merger.

The leaders of the Advocacy CG are the leaders of the Marketing, UG, and 
Immigrants communities.

They are. See the several /months/ of conversation links I sent in my 
previous mail.

Do you have any substantiation for that claim? And why the use of the 
word "sham" as well?

It will be when it opens. In an earlier mail I sent the threads 
explaining the ongoing merger. As I said earlier, if you don't feel the 
Advocacy CG is a true community yet, that's fine. The Marketing 
Community is still open (not fully merged yet). They have discussions on 
advocacy-discuss.
