Thank you.
Which part of the trademark policy covers this? My own reading was
from == Things You Can Do, a Summary ==, which does not give any
examples related to third parties such as student societies (only
second parties, the chapters themselves).

Hello everyone,
We've looked in to this a bit more deeply, and as long as the student society is
associated (or affiliated) with Wikimedia UK and isn't selling any products then
there's no need to seek permission to use the marks. The Trademark Policy at
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_policy is the key document here and is quite
clear on this, thankfully.
We're on good terms with the WMF, so if there are any trademark issues that the WMF
contacts a student group about, try and let us know, and we can get in touch with the WMF
during work hours and smooth over any difficulties.
I hope this is useful,
Stevie

Thanks Charles. When the CUWS was established was there a need for you to discuss
trademarking with the WMF? If so, how did you approach this? Are there any apposite
lessons you might be able to share?
Anything that was done would have been by Deryck Chan.
Charles
