That is not envisioned. The proposal sees an interaction with the ESC to 
avoid overlaps but the mentors and our ED will keep in check the developers.

That's why there will be an interaction between mentors, ED and ESC to 
avoid that. If the ED sees that there are unresolvable conflicts then he 
will have the choice of involving the board.
