All active images of the new team shall execute the same CHANGE TEAM statement. On each image of the new team, execution of the segment following the CHANGE TEAM statement is delayed until all other images of that team have executed the same statement the same number of times in the original team.

In the first instance, “successful execution of a CHANGE TEAM statement” already implies that only the active images are involved.  Images that are not active do not execute CHANGE TEAM (or any other ) statements.  In the second sentence, the “active” is needed, or the “shall execute” requirement could apply to inactive images which is a clear contradiction.   The last sentence might be clearer with the addition of “active”, though the concept of segment ordering is moot for images that are not active.
