Okay, I do. The foundation as the owner of the name
Wikinews is the
ultimate instance to decide who is allowed what to do with this name. It
can decide to delegate this decision to the community, even for outside
relations as in the case of press credentials but it stays their
decision. If the wikinews community wants to hand out press credentials,
they should submit their policy to the foundation and have it approved
by the foundation. Since the policy seems quite okay, I see no reason
why the foundation shouldn't accept it, but there's certainly a need for
approval as they want to use the trademark in external relations.
Ok, it is rather silly to debate this for 40+ messages.
Board members, please, read over the policy and either approve it so
that we can stop this time-wasting back-and-forth, or say that you'll
review it, or say that you don't need to review it.
