The council's tasks already include "Facilitation: making sure that one portion of the community knows what is going on in another " [0]. To me this already covers CSSU and no extra duties are needed. As for a techincal streering group (TSG) I think that's up for the project itself to setup if needed not for the larger community. To me CSSU is a project within the community not a project by the community.

Just my 0.02

Thanks for your comments. They help distill the issue. I agree that in general council shouldn't distinguish between projects. But the rub of it is this:

what if, hypothetically speaking, there was a platform-related project that was vital to the continued existence of the community? Should council help that project succeed so that the community does not die or should it treat that project the same way as it would a fart app?
