I think it was implicit that the Council/Board would honor Fedora
Legal's veto. The only reason I bring it up now is because we're
delegating it out to SIGs who may not be aware of that situation.
If you'd rather have me put it in the Trademark_guidelines, I have no
issue with it being there, but I do want to make sure the SIGs are aware
of it.
I'll a bit confused by the goal here. Point 3 in that proposed
approval policy says, "Once approvals from appointed SIGS are done,
the Item will be submitted to the Council (via a ticket) for trademark
approval." So is the SIG really doing the approval or just some
vetting of the request?
