<br />
The idea of a Project Team was first though up by David Jay, back in [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=16670 June of 2006]. Prior to this, AVEN had purely been more of a forum-centric kind of thing. There had been little focus on organizational structures up until this point ''([http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=2078 excluding this one event])'', David Jay had pretty much lead every project up until this point, with the occasional volunteers. There was no structured organization beyond the Moderating team, which had been selected by DJ. (Interestingly enough, DJ had raised the PT idea just months before the very first Admod elections took place). <br />
<br />
The nominations were opened on the [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=16742 9th of June 2006] by AVENguy, less than a week after he proposed the idea. The nominees were required to send in their nominations via eMail or PM to AVENguy or Cashew (who was an admin a the time). AVENguy had originally sought to set up a temporary forum for the voting process ''([http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?/topic/16742-run-for-the-aven-project-team-deadline-wed-614/page__view__findpost__p__460820 due to an error with phpBB's poll software])'' This forum continues to exist as the [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?/forum/33-mod-elections/ Elections Forum].<br />

By December 2006, when the first 6-month re-election should have taken place, a majority of the team had stepped down from their position. Only Hallucigenia and Triple-A were active team members at this point.<br />
<br />
The 5 positions were advertised. However, only 5 members had nominated themselves, thus the 6-month re-elections were not held. The following members were appointed as [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=20603 ''temporary'' team members]<br />

[http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=24990 July 2007 nominations thread]<br />
<br />
There was a period of uncertainty between February and May 2007, before [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?shiwtopic=23836 the issue was raised] by Cashew on the 23rd of May 2007. This sparked a large, heated debate, which proved to be too much for Triple A, [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?/topic/23836-project-team/page__view__findpost__p__665098 who had decided to resign later that day]. This was a huge blow to the Project Team, leaving Hallucegenia as the only regularly active member. <br />
<br />
[http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=24544 This is somewhat relevant], the state of the Project Team was discussed and voted on, the majority had voted in favor of ''Open up the Project Team forum to everyone and immediately hold an election for one or more Project Team moderators, who will remain nominally separate from the rest of the admod team and arbitrate project decisions.'', giving birth to the current Project Team structure. <br />
<br />
The team had discussed the periods during October, it was decided that the period served should be increased from [http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=26758 6 months to 1 year]. <br />

The next re-elections took place during August of 2010.Nominations were being taken in Announcements this time, as opposed to Visibility & Education. Combined roles were common at this point, EGD had ran for the JFF mod spot on 8th of November 2009, GoAllyGoGo had ran for the Announcements and Gender Forum mod sports on the 10th of March 2010, and ...but there are sounds had ran for World Watch & Asexual Relationships earlier, on the 20th of July 2010. All three had won their elections, giving them combined roles. <br />

In early 2011, the admods had decided to scrap combined roles. If a mod seeks to run for a PT position, they are required to give up their moderating position, and vice versa. It was also later decided, during September 2011, that the period between re-elections be increased from 1 year to 2 years. <br />

<hr />
<div>Asexuality and sexuality are not black and white; some people identify in the '''gray''' (spelled "'''grey'''" in some countries) area between them. People who identify as '''gray-A''' can include, but are not limited to those who:<br />
<br />
:* do not normally experience [[Attraction|sexual attraction]], but do experience it sometimes<br />
:* experience sexual attraction, but a low [[sex drive]]<br />
:* experience sexual attraction and drive, but not strongly enough to want to act on them<br />
:* people who can enjoy and desire sex, but only under very limited and specific circumstances<br />
<br />
Similarly, some people who might technically belong to the gray area choose to identify as asexual because it is easier to explain. For example, if someone has experienced sexual attraction on one or two brief, fleeting occasions in their life, they might prefer to call themselves asexual because it is not worth the bother of having to explain these one or two occasions to everyone who asks about their orientation.<br />
<br />
==Terms==<br />
<br />
The most common term used to refer to the gray area is "gray-A". Other terms that have been used for the gray area include "hyposexual", "demisexual", "semisexual", "low sexual intensity", "asexual-ish" and "sexual-ish".<br />
<br />
Some of these terms refer to specific parts of the gray area rather than the entire gray area.<br />
<br />
'''Hyposexual''' can be used as a catch-all term for the gray area, and is commonly mistaken believed by asexuals to be a standard medical term.[http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=11822] The actual name is Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, which is classified as a sexual dysfuction in the DSM-IV-TR.<br />
<br />
[[Demisexuality|'''Demisexual''']] is used, generally, to describe people who only experience sexual attraction after first forming a strong emotional connection.[http://www.asexuality.org/en/index.php?showtopic=29621]<br />
