I can't help but think that somewhere with all of this restructuring the 
relationship with the marketing team and design team has been left behind.

The marketing and design teams have, from the very start, tried to 
coordinate any needed design requirements by the marketing team closely 
with the design team. That is, if any design were needed for a project 
with the marketing team, we (the marketing team) would leave a request 
on the design team's mailing list with the hopes of someone on the 
design team would be kind enough to help out. Eventually, a specific 
design would come out of this process and we would vote on it; from 
there, the design would be posted on the Design team's official "Gallery 
of Marketing and Design Resources" wiki page[1].

I am not sure if this relationship is being taken into consideration 
with the restructured Design page or if the Design team is in the 
process of redefining itself and will not be be involved with any of the 
marketing designing process.

If the design team will no longer be involved with the marketing 
process, then the design team should then ask for "marketing designers" 
to join their ranks for help with some of the marketing designing 
present and future requirements.

Cheers,

Marc
