So, what has to be done to change the group membership policy?

male cousin y-dna (# 199430), but people never bother to e-mail back. I
wouldn't mind if they would just say there aren't any names like that in
my list or at least something.
However,unfortunately, the cousin I had tested -- none of the surnames ( I
don't believe) that match have been Carter. Which cause me some
questioning. But, I wish people would at least respond to matches.
Family finder for me has been similar (one response from several e-mails.)

Will,
It is always frustrating to have a match in a DNA project with someone who
does not bother to answer emails or even provide a clue as to a a Most
Distant Ancestor. One has to question the rational for even bothering to
joining a Y-DNA surname project in the first place.
It does appear your group is solidly related and that Rowland/Roland
Carter as the Most Distant Ancestor and your group is dragging along that
Kit # 67377 (who has posted no further information.)
I am in agreement, I see no reason at this point to increase your Y-DNA
markers; however, Family Finder might help you extend your line as it
would increase the potential numbers of persons female or male that might
be related to your last known Carter family.
In my other DNA projects where I am administrator, it is a requirement to
at least indicate an Earliest Known Ancestor/Most Distant Ancestor to be
in the project and to provide a contact email.
That rule could be adopted by the Carter DNA surname project, however, I
am just the new guy on the block as a Co-Administrator as far as the
Carter DNA surname project is concerned.
My own personal opinion is a group of numbers with no family information
is about as useless as -- pardon my expression -- "Teats on a boar hog".

Not so far. I have listed my values on Ancestry DNA also.

Do you have a strong match with any non-Carter surname?
