Here's a statement we may need to better clarify on p. 3:

"The working group will also specify policies in terms of branding,
themeing and desktop graphics."

I think we should be clear that any branding efforts need to fit into
the overall branding framework of Fedora.  We should be careful to
avoid having branding diverge between the products to an extent that
makes it harder for us to identify them as part of a family of Fedora
products.

In my time as an FPL, I worked extensively with Fedora folks on
trademark and brand guidelines.  I suspect Robyn has done quite the
same wherever possible.  It would be a step backward to make it harder
for people to readily identify any of the Fedora products with
Fedora.

This is really a suggestion for all the working groups, so I'm cc'ing
server@ and cloud@ lists too.
