No. I mean make a proposal on this list, asking for the PPMC to recommend approcal. Then, once we agree on the recommendation, then you send a note to [email protected] and reference via a link the recommendation from this list. There may be other ways of doing this, but I think that is the simplest: 1) Get lazy consensus on a [PROPOSAL] to recommend that the trademark permission be granted 3) Send the request to Apache Branding, with a link to the [PROPOSAL] thread from #1 >> >> So, if this is acceptable to you, could we re-word your proposal as: > > Of course. > > Best regards, > Peter > >> >> ================== >> >> Proposed: The Apache OpenOffice.org Podling recommends to Apache >> Branding that permission to use the OpenOffice.org trademark and logo >> be granted to BHV publishing GmbH, Novesiastrasse 60, D-41564 Kaarst >> (Germany) for their book (in preparation) "OpenOffice.org 3.3 für >> Ein- und Umsteiger" [1] [2].
