Thank you for the announcement.
I have a couple of procedural questions.
I understand that the reviews and the discussion can go to the Boost
Developers list, right?
Typically, for the library reviews we were instructed to prefix the email
title with the reviewed library name, so that it is easier for the Review
Manager to notice all the relevant messages. Do we have a tag like this in
this case? Shall I use "Boost Asset Stewardship Review", or is
"stewardship" just fine?

I am also not clear what the subject of the review is. At a high level I
understand that there are two organizations with different visions
competing for some form of control over Boost, but what exactly that "some
form of control" is I am not sure.

Are we talking about the ownership of servers, infrastructure software,
logos, domains? Or legal representation? Or are we also deciding on
introducing new bodies, like a "steering committee"? I would appreciate it
if this was clarified in the review announcement.
