I will have to echo John's comments here. I would rather resolve this during the "vetting process" that occurs during instantiation then attempt to restrict the creation of CGs. Part of the CG instantiation process, as I understand it, is receiving approval for the proposed set of contributors. The OGB directly approves the proposed core/contributor grants. If a member of the OGB or community felt that the grants proposed had not been adequately justified, then the proposal should not be accepted.
