I'm not sure why we have to approve the spins themselves outside of the trademark usage since we don't individually approve other works from other SIGs (documentation, artwork, swag, etc).  This seems to be a new rule (within the last couple of years) and I'm currently trying to determine exactly when this came about and why.

Note that the Spins SIG is dysfunctional. Regular meetings ceased a long 
time ago. A few people help out with different aspects of it, but there 
really isn't a coherent group to make approval decisions. Christoph (the 
wrangler) seems to be pretty busy with other stuff, but he might be able to 
make a sanity check and a recommendation.
