Add CA-Notices as Owner to get Calendaring to Work

To do this, you must add ca-notices@hyperledger.org as the owner of the group, set the correct settings. Here's the steps to follow after creating the new subgroup:
- Navigate to the subgroup and click on "Admin" to expand the admin menu.
- Click on "Direct Add" and add the "ca-notices@hyperledger.org" account to the group.
- Click on "Members" and search for "ca-notices@hyperleger.org".
- Click on the member record to go to the member settings page.
- Change the "Role" to "Owner"
- Under "Notifications" set the following checkmarks:
...
- Email when there are messages needing approval.
- Email when there are members needing approval.
- Email when a member joins/leaves this group.
- Email when a group storage limits are reached.
- Email when someone reports a message.
- Set "Owner Email" to "None"
