+<p>3.4.11. Trademark Usage Approvals</p>
+<p>Our project maintains a formal Trademark Usage Guidelines document, which
+serves as a additive reference to the Apache Software Foundation's trademark
+policies. The Apache CloudStack PMC has had approval authority delegated to it
+for requests from third parties to use our trademarks. It is the PMC's
+responsibility to provide these approvals, and to ensure that any requests
+are in compliance with both the project and the foundation's trademark
+usage policies.</p>
+<p>The CloudStack Trademark Guidelines specify how a requestor is expected to
+request permission for usage of the trademarks.</p>
+<p>The process of approval will typically be as follows:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>A request is made that includes the required information for the PMC to make 
+a decision.</li>
+<li>A PMC member reviews the request and provides an initial acknowledgement 
+response to the requester.</li>
+<li>If no PMC member raises a concern after 72 hours, the requester can assume 
+approval.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In situations where a concern is raised, the PMC member is expected inform the
+requster that there is some discussion that needs to be had prior to approval
+from the PMC.  This notice serves to end the assumed approval after 72 hours.  </p>
+<p>After raising a concern, the PMC member in question is required to forward the
+concern to private@cloudstack.apache.org, explaining the issue that they have
+with the request.  The use of private@cloudstack.apache.org for discussing the
+request is to allow the PMC to deliberate without confusing the requester, and
+to ensure that a formal approval or denial is clear at the end of the
+discusion.</p>
+<p>The PMC will then attempt to achieve consensus on how the request for approval
+will be answered.  The requester may be asked for more information to help the
+PMC make a decision, may be asked to make a change to the proposal in order to
+gain approval, or may have their request be denied.</p>
+<p>If consensus is not achieved within the PMC by discussion, then a formal VOTE
+can be called as a Lazy 2/3 majority of voting PMC members.</p>
+<p>Votes related to trademark usage approvals may be performed on the
+private@cloudstack.apache.org mailing list.</p>
 <p>3.5. Voting Timeframes</p>
 <p>Formal votes are open for a period of at least 72 hours to allow all active
 voters time to consider the vote.</p>
