I'd like to ask again for a decision regarding the MIME icon. Question was if we can find a more appearing icon for LibreOffice or create something more special for TDF (the brand is too close to the product). And I received a request to restart the mascot topic. Belongs to the same topic, somehow.

[webmink]

Since this primarily affects the software would it not be a topic for the ESC?

{Terse? Mobile!}

Besides ESC I would suggest to get some more professional visual designers into this topic.

I agree but I was considering just the decision-making aspect rather than the implementation.

I strongly support the request for a TDF specific logo/icon, while I
don't think we should reopen the mascot topic because of the comments we
have received during the last Reddit AMA, which clearly show that there
would be flames from a group not involved in the community but vocal
enough to disrupt our process.

As the brand and all things around that are also legal stuff, the BoD
has to say nothing about it?

As the ESC only "provides *technological* guidance on stratetic matters"
[1] and has skills across development [2] I don't know if this is the
right place to decide about legal stuff.

But perhaps I'm wrong.

The BOD would likely need to approve whatever the ESC proposes, sure.

Happy to have green light from the board to continue with a) another MIME icon/different TDF branding topic and b) restarting the mascot thing. Would discuss the procedure with team and ESC, of course.

BoD is always busy so let's focus on the relevant part: do or don't. My understanding was the same as KJ's, nevertheless I'm happy to make an elaborated proposal when there is a good likelihood for acceptance.
