Thank you for the news that no other paths are being pursued. I am disappointed that a "general trademark policy" based on the DFSG is not being studied, but any clearer terms would be welcome. Does this mean that spi-trademark is now elaborating the existing policy, rather than drafting a new one? When and where will spi-trademark report next? Will it contribute to the 2005 SPI Annual Report? Can you forecast when it will present a policy to spi-board? I've kept the CCs because I'm not sure whether board or trademark sets target dates and the answer will probably interest debian-project. -- MJ Ray (slef), K.
