Hi all, 

On Friday, the Legal and Community Advocacy team posted a call for community input on our trademark policy and practices: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/06/07/call-for-community-input-trademark-policy-practices/ 

We have identified some trademark practices that we think are going well, as well as some areas that could be improved. We have also raised specific questions for discussion and seen great community engagement on this issue. To date, community members have provided excellent input on how the trademark policy can be clarified [1] and started translating our initial trademark statement [2] into German, Greek, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Korean, Russian, and Swedish to make the discussion more approachable internationally. We would like to get as many community members as possible to participate in the discussion and look forward to your comments.

Many thanks for your wisdom and help with this!

Yana Welinder, Legal Counsel
