The way I read it (forgive me if I am wrong), your email seems to be implying that this is a suggestion from WMF. It is not so. It has not been discussed on the board, and even less agreed upon. Take it for what it is, a simple suggestion by one person, not a wmf suggestion.
Note that there is chance other suggestions are made by board members during elections time. Please take these suggestions as platform discussion, not as wmf position.
Thanks

Anthere,
Thanks for clarifying. The USPTO Trademark Office is not like Wikipedia in that you can "edit this trademark" whenever you want, and given the investment in securing a trademark, the entire thread evidenced a startling lack of understanding as to why trademarks should go on a slow path. I was wondering what the Board was thinking, but you have clarified that this is not a Board topic at present.
Thanks
Jeff
