Re: [PROPOSAL] Get lazy consensus on to recommend that the trademark permission be granted to BHV publishing GmbH

[Rob Weir <ro...@robweir.com>]

Looks like we lazy consensus on this proposal.   I just saw some
comments on ensuring that they use the current version of the logo,
with color.

We can now hand this over, with our recommendation, to Shane as
Branding VP, for his review and approval.
