John Adams from Red Hat's corporate branding team has agreed to help us 
out with this and is going to be facilitating a phone discussion between 
various stakeholders involved in Fedora's branding. John's team has a 
depth of experience in dealing with tough branding issues and I believe 
their expertise is going to be a real asset in figuring out a way out of 
this pickle we've found ourselves in.

I've sent out some invites to various stakeholders (including Jakub from 
the GNOME design team, mattdm / the FPL, and folks from the downstream 
RHEL product team) to try to put together a group to meet about this 
sometime in the next 2-3 weeks; we are going to be working out when 
exactly in the next couple of days.

I also put together a problem statement and brief summary of the 
discussion here on the list. I want to make sure the stakeholders 
involved are okay with the wording of that statement before I post it 
here; I will do that as soon as everyone has had a chance to review.

I'll continue to keep everybody posted here as there's more to report.
