Then clearly the correct resolution is for the OGB to fix it.

The word "endorse" appears nowhere in the Constitution, what does appear 
is a statement that says that Projects are set up and disbanded by CGs 
as necessary to achieve the aims of the CG.  In my mind at least that 
has a strong whiff of ownership.  In addition, the establishment and 
closure of Projects is via a vote of the members of the relevant CG, and 
  that clearly implies that a single CG is responsible for a Project.  I 
don't much care what word we use, but the current "sponsors" sitation 
clearly doesn't work and needs to be discontinued.
