I totally agree that the use of the Apache Flex trademark needs to be clearly defined - once the podling starts.

Or rather, before it is allowed to graduate.  That is but one of the many steps during graduation, determine the provenience of the code, and the provenience of the mark....

I absolutely agree with that, thanks for clarifying.

I too agree with that, however I'm not happy with the current wording of this part of the proposal. My concern is that what was acceptable to a previous community structure may not be acceptable to the Apache community structure. We have seen this to our cost in other podlings. Such confusion has led to a considerable number of volunteer hours being expended on helping PPMCs solve these problems.

I think much of this wasted effort can be limited by managing expectations at proposal stage. For this reason I request a subtle, but important (for me), change in the wording of the proposal as follows:

"Existing Flex-related conferences, podcasts and websites should be allowed to continue using “Flex” as part of their name - however such existing sites will be expected to conform to Apaches existing trademark policies (http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/)"
