Now that Ken's motion based on the recommendation of the Trademark Committee has been seconded by Maggie, it is numbered (00-32) and the floor is open for discussion. That motion and reasoning behind it is stated below: After due consideration, we recommend that the AB apply for the Service Mark "The USGenWeb Project" , as soon as possible. Along those lines, after reading reams of stuff about TM's, SM's etc, we need to have Linda Lewis write a letter stating she has no objection to us doing this. After studying the information available on line in regard to the legalities involved, the only way there would be a clash would be if Linda filed an objection to the Project acquiring the SM's. Ken Short Chairman TM Committee **************************************************************************** ******* I move that the Board direct the NC to apply for the Service Mark "The USGenWeb Project" as soon as possible.
