That's right. We should probably send a reminder/refresher to all chapters and groups about this. The address does appear in the [[wmf:Trademark policy]] page.
And for further clarity -- WMZA need not be a party to the trademark agreement, if it doesn't make sense. The city of Johannesburg, or whatever subsidiary body is actually producing and placing the plaques, is the entity that needs permission, and the one that should seek it. (WMZA can, of course, help and advise!)
Cheers,
A.

David, You should probably contact Jay Walsh or any one from WMF Legal and ask for permission. Abbas.
(I emailed David off-list)
Those are fail-safe followups, Jay and the legal team can and do review those. Within the past year or so the WMF legal team set up trademarks
AT
wikimedia DOT org. That's the best starting point of contact. It's not
a
very well-known address, but it's on the contact page somewhere.
Hope this helps for future requests here.
