[foundation-board] REVISED MOTION: Trademarks for OKF

[Laura James]

As the previous motion was contentious due to the inclusion of the Open
Definition, here is a revised proposal not including this.  Thank you for
the input so far; I'm afraid we need new approvals/rejections from everyone
in response to this revised motion.



I would like to place the following motion before the board, and request
that you each respond to approve or reject the motion.

*Motion placed before the board:*
*
*
That the OKF should undertake to register a set of six trademarks (listed
below) using Charles Russell as agent.


*Background*

Charles Russell have been the most responsive and have provided detailed
and useful feedback (around expected classes, for example) on the proposed
marks. The quote is also an improvement on that from AZRights, even after a
recent price change from AZRights.

To file across EU27, with both an initial filing and the work needed to
take through to final registration (all being well), for the following
marks, the cost will be around £10,000.

OKF, OKFN, Open Knowledge Foundation  (each in 5 classes)
OpenSpending, School of Data (each in 3 or 4 classes, TBC)
CKAN  (in 2 classes)


Best regards,

Laura
