Maximum length of Google Group names is 73 characters ("Invalid Input: groupName" error)

[tompollard]

When trying to send the MIT datathon dataset to a Google Cloud bucket using the "manage published project" tools in the console, the following error was raised. The problem is that the title of the project is used to set the group name. The maximum length of group names is 73 characters.
