First of all, fantastic! Building that team alignment through shared learning is awesome. To get the rest of your team up and running, just email the names (first and last) and email addresses for the remaining users, and we'll take care of the rest.
No. If you can get a group from across your organization, or even a group of colleagues from different organizations, that's a team.
