I like the ability of a CG to "endorse" a project - or otherwise connect itself to the effort. But, I agree that the connections get confusing. Maybe there could be a single "owner" relationship (a project is Owned by one CG; a CG can own many projects) with multiple "interest" relationships (a project can be OfInterest to many CGs, CGs may be interested in many projects). This would give us: "Owner" CGs are responsible for governance and lifecycle stuff. "Interested" CGs would get automatically informed of Project Announcements and other project lifecycle events, and may participate in polls and surveys (...) related to the project, but are not part of the project's governance chain. -John
