 ### Project administration
 
-- The project founders MUST act as Administrators to manage the set of project Maintainers.
+- The Monero Core Team MUST act as Administrators to manage the set of project Maintainers.
 - The Administrators MUST ensure their own succession over time by promoting the most effective Maintainers.
 - Administrators MAY remove Maintainers who are inactive for an extended period of time, or who repeatedly fail to apply this process accurately.
 - Administrators SHOULD block or ban "bad actors" who cause stress and pain to others in the project. This should be done after public discussion, with a chance for all parties to speak. A bad actor is someone who repeatedly ignores the rules and culture of the project, who is needlessly argumentative or hostile, or who is offensive, and who is unable to self-correct their behavior when asked to do so by others.
