Before we go too far, note that I was reading the linked policy without
enough coffee and missed that this is really a "SIG gets things inline,
council approves after" policy rather than a "council deligates the
approval decision" policy -- line 3 still includes "submit to Council".
So perhaps this is all moot.
If you'd rather have me put it in the Trademark_guidelines, I
have no
issue with it being there, but I do want to make sure the SIGs are aware
of it.
While I also can't imagine a real situation where the the council would
disregard our own legal here, I think it's better for any veto power to
be clearly documented rather than implicit.
