Thank you for this, I think it is a good improvement.

Given two WG, "A" and "B" with chairs "A1", "A2" and "B1" and "B2"

If A1==B1, that's clearly a chair conflict, as the chair can't be in both
places.

If A1 is a Key Participant in group B, what kind of conflict is that?

Is it a Chair Conflict for A and a Key Participant conflitct for B?
Or is it also a Chair Conflict?

Would Technology Overlap conflicts be explicitely stated in WG charters?
(Often they say, "will coordinate with WG XYZ" already)
