[open-bibliography] Write-up for email

[Karen Coyle]

The form doesn't really make it clear when we are getting an  
institutional endorsement, and we may want to think about how to make  
that clearer.

On the call, we talked about having a logo for those who have endorsed  
the principles. The question is: do we want to announce that with this  
mail, or later? I think it could go either way.
