Sure thing. Can you schedule it directly? I won't add much to the discussion, so don't want to be an impediment.

If I understand right (though that's not certain here), their TM problems named here are not something like a competing 'tree' logo user, but rather,

• a federal CA TM examiner with a technical bitch about the scope, and
• some delays in transferring from Fedora Commons.ÂÂ

If I have that right then our job is simply oversight to make sure

• they are handling things OK and not facing fatal flaws,
• they (and thus OODF) are not facing litigation, and
• whatever needs to be legally transferred to the new foundation is being handled.

So no, not a takeover.Â

Seems to me I should have a brief phone chat with Heather. Is that feasible and are we pestering her a lot?

Do we want to getÂinvolved in this process and/or push the work to our trademark team? I'm inclined to think that's not mandatory, but what do you think?
