Red Hat owns the trademark and the board has no authority to stop Red Hat
from exercising its rights as the trademark owner.  Unless it is owned by a
non-profit foundation, this won't change and even then, it is likely the
arrangement would have to involve giving a very broad license to Red Hat.
Having said that, if the board wants to provide more transparency and
involvement in general,  I would suggest doing an yearly or bi yearly
report of the board activities c.f  GNOME Foundation.
