Hi Andre,

 just to get this right: business name means name of a product, 
 service, company, organization

Good point; 'business' is confusing, I switched it to company name to
make it more comprehensible:

Thus uses of the Marks in a domain name or company name without
explicit written permission from TDF are prohibited.

Wrt. product name - hopefully everyone distributing it calls the
product LibreOffice - this is our plan at least, so forbidding that
would not be ideal (cf. permitted use).

Thanks,

Michael.

Hi Michael,

   I suppose they need permission :-)
 

With the caveat of the fair use exception, which does not require
permission. The notion of fair use varies from country to country. In
some countries, you are even allowed to use registered trademarks in
parodied form, without impugning the TM holder' rights.

I'm not a voting member but it all looks good to me, apart from being inquorate 
and these glitches are unavoidable sometimes.

Many thanks to all of you for an excellent first release and an amazing job in 
setting up community systems so quickly!
Congrats, thanks and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [steering-discuss] SC Vote on first members of TDF

*** Steering Committee Members  their deputies only ***

As we haven't reached a quorum last night we need to decide for
practical reasons on two specific questions. These questions relate to
the formation of the Membership Committee. By decision of the SC we
have appointed André Schnabel, Sophie Gautier and Fridrich Strba as the
three members of this Membership Council. 

But we need to regularly jumpstart the committee and the membership
formation process. We should thus vote on two specific points of order:


  1)  approve that people listed at
http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/ are current members
of TDF according to our ByLaws 
  2) approve Fridrich Strba as member of TDF 

We are going to vote here on this list and the vote will be open for
the next 24 hours. 

Two simple rules:
- vote yes or no for each question, by sending your mail to this list
  with 1) yes/no 2) yes/no

- deputies can vote if their corresponding SC member is not available. 

Best,
