New trademark approval policy

[Christoph Wickert]

Hi,

back in April the board approved a new spins approval policy [1]. I have
put that proposal into the wiki [2] but AFAIK other than that nothing
has happened.

I hereby ask the board to 
     1. appoint SIGs responsible for various trademark approvals
     2. contact these SIGs and ask them to come up with a list of items
        or a SOP for approval
     3. supervise and coordinate the creation of the checklists/SOPs
     4. collect the answers from the SIGs and put them into the wiki
     5. clarify the relationship of this proposal and the media handout
        requirements. According to Jared they would replace the media
        handout requirements
     6. clarify the scope of the new policy. While the old media handout
        requirements only covered physical media for distribution and
        had nothing to do with the spins process this new policy only
        deals with what exactly? For example I am sure we want to
        involve the design team for media for distribution, but I don't
        think they need to approve a spin that has no artwork other than
        the one on the spins page.

Note: The board's trac is only open for board members and individual
tickets are visible for the people who filed them. This being said I
wonder if it is really the right place for a transparent process like a
trademark approval.

Regards,
Christoph
