I don't know about final approval, which I imagine might be the OKFN
board, but there is an Open Definition advisory group that I think
I've cc'd here and obviously should be consulted (but it may be
everyone is on both lists) -- for context see this subject in
Dec/Jan/Feb od-discuss archives
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/

Also it makes sense to have a feedback period, reaching out to, at the
least I'd think

- Stewards/communities of neighboring definitions (OSI, FSF, Debian,
Freedom Defined)
- Stewards/communities of OD-compliant licenses
- Some OKF sub-communities/projects/lists that would be interested

Rufus did mention in
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/2012-January/000100.html
having some kind of license review meeting, which I think could
conclude in need for definition clarification, or just start with
that. I haven't seen a followup yet.

I assumed it was being kept in HTML in WordPress, but if a markdown
version is available/being used with a markdown plugin to publish,
clearly that would be better.
