Dear Geoff and Yana,
even though the consultation results indicate that collective membership mark may have a slightly stronger support than abandoning all trademark registration, the issue is clearly very divisive. Taking the way the issue developed and its history, and past communication problems on the way, I think that recognizing a lack of clear consensus as a good reason to keep the status quo is sensible. I would like to thank you and commend you for your hard work, but also for your flexibility - it must have been tough to put in many hours and work on a solution you believe is best for the community, and then withdraw.
best,
Dariusz Jemielniak "pundit"

has
been closed on the question about the community logo registration. Many thanks to everyone who provided their comments. Based on the consultation, we will be recommending to the Board that we withdraw WMFtrademark registration and protection of the Community logo.
Many thanks to all,
Geoff and Yana
