I think it would have to be decided at effort start time, as part of the 
"charter" for the design-team-like thing (DTLT?); the logical candidates 
are the leader of the DTLT and "some person or group outside the DTLT".
Corresponding case in WG: WG chair as part of design team, leading it, or 
outside of it.
