Modifying the outside projects approval process to include Director-level approval

Why is this change being made?

Modifying the outside projects approval process to include Director-level approval. The proposal is to ensure that we take outside project approval seriously, especially as we move towards a potential IPO.

Originally the EVP of Engineering and EVP of Product were included in this approval process. The process was iterated upon in an effort to reduce noise for those team members. Now that we have more Director-level team members at the company, perhaps it makes sense to include them in the approval process for external projects.
