I think those steps include:
1) Finish the trademark policy (as a side note I've had past experience
with naming controversies and am more familiar with trademark law than I
want to be. I sent in what I hope are constructive comments on the
draft this morning; haven't seen any responses yet).
2) Do the usual and customary open reviews of the Indiana proposal
(including arc review, design reviews, code reviews, cteam, etc.), and
make changes based on review feedback. (This should happen in parallel
with (1))
3) pick a name that complies with the trademark policy.
and finally:
Follow the process in the opensolaris constitution to vote on the
release; if that process doesn't work, propose amendments to the
constitution to fix the process.
