The closest parallel I see is that VP Conferences (Rich) has designated a number of (non-officer) Event Coordinators, each of which is the key decision maker for that event. If coodinators are producing weekly reports I'm confident that the oversight requirements will be amply met, particularly given the number of current and previous Directors on this committee. Signing authority could conceivably be a concern, but Outreachy only requires interns and mentors to sign agreements. This does bring up an interesting question: are mentors signing as individuals or on behalf of the ASF. Perhaps someone could reach to Mozilla to see how they handle this? - Sam Ruby
