Hi,
let me start by saying that I agree with Dariusz's opinion that we should discuss this as a community, and perhaps move on from 'debate by press release' into more focused formats like Google Hangout or IRC office hours in order to find common ground, share our research, and highlight the many outstanding questions that need to be addressed before we can make an informed decision about the right path forward.
I've just seen that on Monday Philippe indicated that the consultation will be closed today, Saturday 7 December.

I didnt see any notice to this list.
There has been no response from the WMF regarding the request to have an interactive dialog to sort out the remaining unanswered questions regarding the collective trademark.
In the last office hours held by LCA, back in January, Phillipe indicated there would be more IRC office hours this year.[1]

I know the LCA team is very busy with many proposals in community consultation phase. With that in mind, I think the community logo should remain open until the LCA team has had time to hold an IRC office hours (or similar) to discuss it. Hopefully before this year closes...? Or if it is distracting staff from other projects, maybe close it temporarily and reopen it after an IRC office hours has been held.
