You can be CC in multiple groups, if your participation in those
multiple groups warrants it. (I'm a CC in several groups myself.) The
issue at hand is some OGB At-Large grants, which were originally granted
to ensure that some individuals who were contribution all over the place
didn't fall thru the cracks because their contributions, while perhaps
broad, weren't deep enough in any one group to warrant a CC for that group.
That said:
I wasn't aware that my OGB grant had expired. If it hasn't expired yet,
then I +1 Shawn/John's comment (even though it would have the effect of
expiring my OGB at-large grant. Like others, I've now got grants in
other groups -- several of them in fact -- such that an OGB at-large
grant is not needed anymore.)
All that said, the OGB at-large grants are relatively harmless. It
doesn't give a CC any more votes, and would have at worst case the
possibility of extending a CC's grant longer than it would have been
extended by other groups. I consider this a low risk proposition.
So, while I've given a +1 to the cases we know about, I'll also +1
(while, and if, I still can) the grants to anyone Michelle identified
who we've not already identified as having a CC grant elsewhere. And,
I'll also recommend that we spend no further effort on this, because, as
I've said, the consequences of a duplicate grant are fairly benign.
