Hi everyone, Quick status update on my promise to streamline the process for reporting and following up on suspected abuse of the MeeGo mark. I'm suggesting the following process, before I post anything formal on the website.
1) If you find a site that appears to be an abuse of the MeeGo mark guidelines, search for it in bugzilla and if it's not already there, file a bug to bdub. 2) If there's an issue, Brian will contact the registered owner of the site, make specific recommendations for what needs to be done to be compliant, and request a response in a given time period. 3) If there's no timely resolution, legal will get involved. Step 2 is to ensure that this is a fair process. I want to ensure that if the owner of a site was acting in good faith but was genuinely unaware of the rules around the MeeGo mark, they have a chance to make things right without being dragged into any unpleasantness. After all, what we ideally want is a healthy web community with a high signal-to-noise ratio, and I think this helps us do that. Brian ps - Ansi5, David, Dave, Tim, and Quim - good eyes. Your instincts were correct, it's definitely out of step with the policy. I sent a letter to the registrant of meegosoftware.com today, signature required, noting the changes they would need to make to the website in order to be inline with the policy and guidelines, or requesting confirmation they'd let it expire.
