OK. The current policy doesn't say anything about "core" or different trademark programs or any other criteria. The TC therefore encourages the DefCore committee to consider it an indication of future technical direction that we do not want tests outside of the Tempest repository used for trademark enforcement, and that any new or existing tests that cover capabilities they want to consider for trademark enforcement should be placed in Tempest. That all seems very clear to me (setting aside some specific word choices like "future technical direction" that tie the resolution to language in the bylaws). Regardless of technical reasons why it may not be necessary, we still have many social justifications for doing it the way we originally set out to do it. Tests related to trademark enforcement need to go into the tempest repository. The way I think this should work (and the way I remember us describing it at the time the policy was established) is the Interop WG (previously DefCore) should identify capabilities and tests, then ask project teams to reproduce those tests in the tempest repo. When the tests land, they can be used by the trademark program. Teams can also, at their leisure, decide whether to remove the original versions of the tests from whatever repo they existed in to begin with. Graham, you've proposed a new resolution with several options for where to put tests for "add-on programs." I don't think we need that resolution if we want the tests to continue to live in tempest. The existing resolution doesn't qualify which tests, beyond "for trademark enforcement" and more words won't make that more clear, IMO. Now if you *do* want to change the policy, we should talk about that. But I can't tell whether you want to change it, you're worried the policy is unclear, or it is not being followed. Can you clarify which it is?
