Matt, the CII grant program became problematic for a number of reasons and that OpenSSF is certainly aiming to avoid replicating those mistakes and making entirely new mistakes instead (to not only focus on grants and truly help define what critical software is).
The CII was before my time at the LF so I don't have much to share outside of it was in the mind of the OpenSSF founders to do better.
