Committee's are bodies of bureaucrats that follow through on some action 
because the parent body is unable or unwilling. 

I have envisioned, and discussed with Stephen Hahn over a year ago, a

which I call projects (technical) and initiatives (non-technical). 

I would ask that the OGB consider using these terms instead.
