The whole IFF team will be involved in this effort.

In hindsight this doesn't parse. Take the example
_German Bauer_ works on the _user interface project_ for _Mozilla.org_.
So let Project be an entity type with the mozilla user interface project as
one example. Then works-on is a ternary relation on the ternary Cartesian
product Person x Project x Organization.
