Licensing Working Group/Trademark licence subcommittee
The Trademark licensing subcommittee has one member of the Licensing Working Group (LWG), one ex-Chairperson of the LWG and one board member who decide on licence requests that are covered by the OSMF Trademark policy, with the understanding that:
- the subcommittee has the authority to grant licences in the "quick licence" (aka licence application for which we have a form template) framework.
- licence grants that are of a bespoke nature will be processed by the full LWG and potentially escalated to the OSMF board.
- licence grant refusals can be appealed to the OSMF board.
- licence grants will be publicly documented in an appropriate fashion.
Members
- Kathleen Lu (Licensing Working Group)
- Simon Poole (former LWG Chairperson and Board member)
- Maurizio Napolitano (Board member)
Get in touch
The administrative assistant, Dorothea Kazazi, is included on the relevant correspondence due to that fact that these are long term contracts that need to be signed by a board member in the end and be part of our corporate records.
